This legislation will designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1332 Sharon Copley Road in Sharon Center, Ohio, as the Emil Bolas Post Office. Emil Bolas dedicated his life to the service of his beloved community of Sharon Township and Medina County, Ohio. As noted in The Medina County Gazette, Mr. Bolas' mission in life was helping people and improving his community. As a young man, Mr. Bolas served in the U.S. Army from 1953 to 1961. After finishing his service in the army, Mr. Bolas focused his time and attention on making his community a better place. Mr. Bolas served as zoning appeals board chairman, as a Sharon Township trustee, and was also active in a wide array of community organizations, including the Medina County Drug Task Force, the Highland Foundation For Educational Excellence, the Boy Scouts of America, the Ohio Township Association, and the Sharon Township Heritage Society. Sadly, Mr. Bolas passed away on August 14, 2008, following a long battle with cancer.
