HONORING BILL McCARTHY, 2021 CENTRAL OHIO SENIOR CITIZENS HALL OF FAME

INDUCTEE

______

HON. JIM JORDAN

Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging will host its 45th annual Central Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame induction ceremony on October 6 in Columbus. I am honored to commend to the House one of this year's inductees: William McCarthy of Marysville.

Bill is a mainstay of the Marysville community. He started working at Wolgamot's Drug Store in 1949, the same year he graduated from Marysville High School. He then earned his pharmacy degree from Ohio Northern University, after which he purchased a share in Wolgamot's. In 1971, after buying out the last of his partners, he renamed it McCarthy Pharmacy. McCarthy Pharmacy was a downtown Marysville landmark for many years, famous for its five-cent coffee.

Bill met his wife, Ruth, in 1949 while working at the pharmacy. They shared 63 years of marriage until her passing in 2016. They were long-

time members of Trinity Lutheran Church and committed delivery drivers for Meals on Wheels programs in Marysville and Plain City. Bill continues to serve Marysville in many ways, including as a member of the G.L. Kingsmore Scholarship Committee. He is proud to be a 33rd degree Mason.

Madam Speaker, selection for the Central Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame is a high honor accorded to seniors who have devoted their lives to serving others. I am pleased to join in the accolades for Bill McCarthy on his induction and thank the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging for recognizing his many sacrifices--and those of all of this year's inductees.
