Our history...Foppe Insurance had it's beginning over 60 years ago when the late Shelby Woods began selling fire and auto insurance.  In 1957 Mr. Woods retired and Ferd Foppe took over the agency and re-named it Foppe Insurance Agency.

After Ferd's sudden death in 1965,  21 year old Ron Foppe was thrust into the managing of two insurance agencies located in  Trenton and Breese.  Ron consolidated the two offices in Breese and began the long struggle of an insurance career at a very young age.   Although many customers and companies didn't believe he could succeed, some gave him a chance to prove himself.  Eventually Ron became a very admired an successful businessman. Through his business skill the agency grew by acquiring other agencies from Germantown and Bartelso.

Bill Foppe became the third generation of insurance agents in the Foppe family in 1982.  Bill went to The College of  Insurance in downtown New York City and worked for INA insurance company in a work study program.

Our office is located in downtown Breese in two historic retail buildings.  They were renovated in 1986 while retaining the best building features like the original stamped metal ceiling.  The building is a listed historic site by the Clinton County Historical Society.

In 1987 Foppe Insurance Agency opened a second location in Mascoutah, Illinois with the purchase of the Mueth Insurance Agency.  Bill Foppe took over the Breese office in 1994 and Ron devoted his management efforts in the Mascoutah office.  Mike Rodick joined the agency staff in 1996 after beginning his insurance career working for another company in Mascoutah.

Ronald C. Foppe joined the agency in 1998 after working as a Personal Lines Underwriter with Kemper Insurance.  Using  his underwriting experience has allowed Ron to quickly begin making an impact on the agency.  Bill and Ron look forward to working together as the agency grows for many years in the future.
