LIBERTY In the early morning of Sunday, Dec. 20, 2020, Bruce H. Luntz, 73, sadly passed away after a brief illness.
Bruce is dearly missed and greatly mourned for by his three daughters, Shayna (Sam) Levi of New Albany, Amanda (Dan) Chernyak, also of New Albany, and Marla (Andrew) Spitz of Orange. He leaves behind a brother, David (Pat) Luntz of Liberty Township; a sister, Geri Bonn of Fort Meyers, Fla.; sister-in-law, Marcia Sigler of New Castle, Pa.; brother-in-law, Sig VanRaan of New York; and numerous nieces, a nephew and cousins. Bruce is also sorely missed by his six adoring grandchildren, Molly and William Chernyak, Noah and Zoe Levi, and Maya and Ava Spitz.
BROOKFIELD When Panelmatic Inc. outgrew its manufacturing facility in Boardman, the company split its control-house product line into another division and relocated to Brookfield.
It was a move leaders at the Cincinnati-based company had been mulling for some time, but they were a bit hesitant.
The move didn’t happen until they became so busy inside the too-small quarters in Mahoning County that they started to turn away projects.
Panelmatic Building Solutions officially started operations in July 2019 at the Parkway Drive plant, a move that appears to have worked out well.
It’s where 30 or so employees manufacture large steel custom control houses for a wide array of industries, from oil and gas to power generation and transmission. The control panels are built and shipped from another of Panelmatic’s manufacturing sites across the U.S.

Among the 31 applicants for an open commissioner seat on the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio are outgoing state Sen. Sean O’Brien, former state Rep. Michael Verich and Ohio Supreme Court Justice Judi French, a Sebring native who lost her re-election bid last month.
The seat, with a term that expires April 10, 2024, became available when Sam Randazzo, PUCO chairman, resigned Nov. 20, shortly after the FBI raided his house.
FirstEnergy Corp. wrote in a Securities and Exchange Commission report the day before his resignation that it paid $4 million to a firm run by a person who matches Randazzo’s description, without providing his name, to end a consulting contract. After learning of the payment during an internal review related to a federal investigation into a controversial House Bill 6 nuclear bailout approved by the state, FirstEnergy fired top executives for violating company ethics policies.
