Kenmore began as a retail gasoline station about 1972. By
June of 1980 Kenmore had expanded into an automobile repair shop,
and a dump truck and construction business. In late 1980 or
early 1981 Kenmore further expanded into the transporting and
wholesaling of bulk fuel. On July 1, 1981, Kenmore began to
operate a second retail gasoline station, at 1066 Sheridan Drive,
Tonawanda, New York, hereinafter sometimes referred to as the
Sheridan location. The gasoline station business that Kenmore
operated at the Sheridan location will hereinafter sometimes be
referred to as the Sheridan station. Gleave bought the Sheridan
location from an unrelated party on June 30, 1981. The Sheridan
location is within 5 miles of the Kenmore location.
Gleave was often at the Kenmore location around 6 a.m. each
day. However, Gleave was usually away from this location during
most of the day. Gleave often worked “out on the road”--for
example, driving and fixing Kenmore’s trucks. Also, at one point
during the years in issue Gleave spent some time in Indiana
helping a brother run a construction business.
Joe Heintz (hereinafter sometimes referred to as Heintz) ran
Kenmore’s daily operations. Although Heintz was not a
bookkeeper, he did some bookkeeping for Kenmore. Shirley Bohn
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as Bohn) assisted Heintz with
Kenmore’s bookkeeping and secretarial work from January 1981 to
March 1983.
