As chairman of its executive committee, he headed the firm from 1971 to 1975. Francis M.

In 1966, he became chairman of the United Way campaign in Montgomery and Chester Counties. In July 1967, the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce named him its Man of the Month "for his contributions in working for an equitable tax climate in the business community." In 1976, he was elected to the chamber's board of directors.
