Who is Long Valley's Person of the Year in 2015?

In a town that is fueled by volunteer first responders and coaches, teachers with decades of experience, and business owners who give back to the community, Washington Township is rich in unsung heroes.

For the past three years Long Valley Patch has asked you, the community, to nominate Long Valley’s Person of the Year. In 2012 you chose Glenn Lightner, the courageous teen who succumbed to brain cancer at age 14. In 2013, you chose Mary Cowap Eichler for donating her kidney to a neighbor. And last year, you chose Diane Muenzen, organizer and overseer of the community garden.

As we turn the page on 2015, there are hundreds more options, as usual, to name our person of the year. But we want to hear from you and see who you think it should be.

Let us know in the comments who you think should be awarded Long Valley Patch’s Person of the Year honor. We’ll take nominations until 11:59 p.m. Dec. 31.
