"I would like to thank all of the county of Summit officeholders for unanimously selecting my late husband for this prestigious award," McFall's widow, Norma, said. "He would have been extremely honored."
McFall, 77, died in March 2010.
He served as a volunteer fireman for 38 years, mayor for 22 years and councilman for 10 years.
He also was a member of Cuyahoga Falls Moose Lodge 918, FOPA Lodge 68, Hudson American Legion 464, Northfield VFW 6768, the Ohio State Fireman's Association and the Summit County Democratic Party.
McFall was a veteran of the U.S. Navy and served on the USS Skagit from 1949 to 1953.
