Lions Club honors Larry Core as its 2019 Citizen of the Year

  • /

Larry Core, former Bluffton village administrator, is the 2019 Bluffton Lions Club Citizen of the Year, according to the club’s selection committee.

Core, a life-long Bluffton resident and Bluffton High School graduate, has served in several community project and organizations, both behind the scene and as a major player.

Perhaps his greatest village accomplishment was his untiring devotion to bringing DTR (today SumiRiko Ohio) to the village.

He also played an instrumental role in assisting GROB Systems to locate in Bluffton.

She adds that "just for fun we’re doing a daily 'live' from our Facebook page at 11 a.m. Mondays through Fridays."

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is a kid's sing-along.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays is piano background music.

How do you celebrate a birthday in groups of 10 or less and with conditions where blowing out candles are verboten?

Very creatively. 

That’s how the Suters celebrated wife, mother and grandmother Linda Suter’s most recent journey around the sun. The celebration took place on Sunday afternoon in the driveway of Bob and Linda’s residence at 122 Grove Street.

And, it was a party of exactly 10.

The happy birthday tune was performed in four-part harmony. On the left side are Ray and Beth Raeburn and son, Andrew.
