Joe Karpel started his family about the same time he opened his auto and towing business in his hometown of Owego, NY, in 1996. He is proud of both, and as he battles Parkinson’s Disease, he is grateful his eldest son, Matt, has stepped up to take over daytoday operations. Not every business owner is that fortunate.

“One of the biggest blessings someone can have is if they can pass their business onto their children,” Joe said, holding back emotions. “Matt’s pretty much been an adult since he was two years old. I’m just glad he picked up the ball and has really accelerated our business. For a 26yearold to take on 8090 employees, it’s really amazing to see.”
