“It is with mixed emotions that I retire from Aloha Petroleum,” Parry told Pacific Business Journal in a statement. “It has been a thoroughly gratifying experience to work in such a dynamic and exciting organization with an amazing team of talented people. I will truly miss that, but I look forward to pursuing the many interests I haven’t had time on which to focus over my 48-year working life. The company will be in the very capable, caring hands of Tom Grimes.”
