| Wellsville's Greg Thrasher addresses dinner guest while Linda Surace & Jim Saracco look on. |
Wellsville businessman Greg Thrasher was honored as the
Chamber’s Man of the Year at their annual Citizens of the Year Dinner. The dinner was held at the WHS Alumni Center
this past Thursday evening. Thrasher is
the owner of Jim’s Wrecker Service and is the son of the late Phyllis & Jim
Thrasher. He is also the husband of
Karen Thrasher. Last year's Man of the Year Jim Saracco announced the Chamber members selection.
Thrasher is a Wellsville native and Wellsville High School
alumni of the Class of 1968. He is a
Navy veteran having served his country during the Viet Nam era. Greg first began working for his father while
still in high school and, except for his time in the Navy, has been there ever
since. He is a member of several
organizations in the Wellsville community and currently serves as the Fiscal
Officer & Secretary of American Legion Post 70.
Although named Man of the Year, Greg Thrasher would have
been eligible for the duel of honor for both the Community Service Award and
Man of the Year. Lending a helping hand
to his Wellsville neighbors is in his DNA with him following in the footsteps
of both his mother & father. When not on the road for business Greg is
often spotted around the village lifting boat docks in and out of the water,
loaning his tractor trailer for parade floats, donating his time for Historical
Society projects and countless other things.
Many of those things go unrecognized as he goes quietly along. It’s a family tradition.
Congratulations Greg…
