CORONA, Calif. – Bob Patison, the longtime Executive Vice President of Lucas Oil Products and President of MAVTV, has retired from Lucas Oil after more than a quarter century.

Patison joined the company in its infancy back in 1994, and was instrumental in helping Lucas Oil grow to a multinational enterprise.

Forrest Lucas, who founded Lucas Oil along with his wife Charlotte, praised Bob for his many years of leadership and steadfast loyalty of service to the company and all of its employees.

“Bob has been a part of the backbone of this company. His expertise will surely be missed,” said Lucas.

Patison’s wife Dawn is also retiring from the company after 25 years of service.

Dawn Patison held the position of Studio Operations Director and played a significant role in the formation of the Lucas Oil Production Studios.

Both Bob and Dawn Patison plan to settle, at least temporarily, at their new home in Big Bear Mountain.

“Dawn and I made a lot of friends at Lucas Oil, and we will miss our daily interaction with them,” said Bob Patison. “We are looking forward to some peaceful time with our children and grandchildren.”

Announcements in regards to who will assume the Patisons’ responsibilities will be made at a later date.
