Thomas was honored for his distinguished career as an educator and his public service deeds, which include assisting with the Iron Ore Heritage Trail development.

Wallner presents a certificate to Thomas. Wallner said, “The City of Negaunee hereby names this park pavilion in honor of its native son Jim Thomas and places this permanent marker to forever pay tribute to Jim and to act as a testament to the exemplary public service and tenacious commitment he has so graciously provided to our community.” (Journal photos by Katie Segula)
