SCM mourns sudden death of colleague

California regional broker SullivanCurtisMonroe (SCM) has announced the sudden death of colleague Joe Castle on Sept. 8 in Glendora, Calif.

Castle joined SCM in 2014 as an account assistant and eventually became an account manager. He was recently promoted to account executive after spending eight years serving a variety of large accounts, primarily in the construction space. Castle was a member of SCM’s Los Angeles team. He began his insurance career at Marshall W. Rose Insurance.

“It is with deep sadness that we mourn the death of our colleague and friend,” said John Monroe, president and CEO of SCM. “The SCM family will miss Joe more than words can express. He was not just our co-worker, but a good friend to many of us at SCM. His positive attitude, professional ability and willingness to help whenever asked will always be remembered and appreciated.”

SCM has set up a GoFundMe page to benefit Castle’s family.

“The fundraiser gives his friends, colleagues and clients an opportunity to help ease the heavy financial burden placed upon his wife and two children,” SCM said.
