McCurdy dynasty shines in New York insurance boldness
Richard A. McCurdy, 70, president of Mutual Life, leads a powerful clan of executives and wealth. His son Robert H. McCurdy, GM, follows toward the presidency as the family business empire spans banks, trusts, and agents. The elder man draws about 150000 dollars yearly with vast real estate and industrial holdings, and the clan maintains a lavish but understated lifestyle in Morris Plains and New York City. The question remains how the inheritance and commissions shape the firm during an ongoing insurance investigation.
