Jack Somerville was honored among his peers at this evening’s monthly meeting.
"Jack is a very giving person. He'll do anything for anybody. He's been at the forefront of a lot of organizations in the Lima community for years and years and years. He's just a really nice and laid-back guy. You don't always get accolades for the things you do that are voluntary. Jack has done a lot for the community over the years, and we're glad to be able to do this for him today," stated Tony Swygart, board president.
Somerville’s contributions will now be forever cemented in the Lima community.
