A Tribute & the 7th Annual R.G.B. Tournament

 

Team members from our Danbury, New York, and Boston offices along with associates of Preferred Utilities got together on August 9th for the 7th Robert G. Bohn Memorial Invitational golf tournament. This tournament is hosted by David Bohn and Preferred annually to celebrate the life and successes of Mr. Bohn’s father, the late Robert G. Bohn.

 

A U.S. Naval Air Corps pilot, Robert G. Bohn graduated from Greenbriar Military Academy and Dartmouth College and joined the family business after WWII in 1947. President and CEO of Preferred from 1963 to 1995; he continued as CEO and Chairman of the Board until 2011.

Robert Bohn’s accomplishments at Preferred include acquiring three companies: the instruments division of General Controls, W.N. Best, and Rimcor. These companies provided Preferred’s instruments, controls, and combustion lines of equipment. He was also the creator of Preferred Engineering with a group of local engineers.

One of our favorite traditions here at Preferred is remembering Robert G. Bohn with a sport he loved, and honoring his memory as a gentleman, leader, colleague, and friend.
