In December, the 64-year-old O’Donovan stepped down as chairman of the board of directors after 39 years with the Rockford shoe company.

But he remains on the board for the $1.1 billion company and chairs the board of the area’s largest hospital system, Spectrum Health Services Inc.

He still lends his wisdom serving on the boards of public companies Spartan Stores Inc., Kaydon Corp., and private firms Amerikam and Cascade Engineering.

Despite his work and volunteer efforts, he says he was surprised when he learned he would be inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Junior Achievement of the Michigan Great Lakes.

He will be honored at the JA annual dinner Wednesday at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in downtown Grand Rapids.

Wolverine CEO Blake Krueger says he was not surprised by O’Donovan’s selection. He will join 74 other business leaders who have been inducted in the Hall of Fame, recognized for their accomplishments, community involvement and efforts to serve as a role model for youth.
