The Somerville News Person of the Week, Rod Kreimeyer.

Meet Rod Kreimeyer (with his wife Nancy) who lives here in Somerville and operates his business that he started and founded himself back in 1984. He is the proud owner of Best Pest Control Services on Elm Street right outside of Porter Square. Ron is a nice guy, and well liked by a lot here in the ‘Ville. He’s sort of semi-retired in the winter while he is in Florida, but he rushes back to the ‘Ville every early spring to get back into the thick of things.

He is a family man. Along with Nancy they have a son and daughter-in-law and two grandkids, and like all grandparents they love the role. He’s very involved locally in various groups. One he recently got involved with is the Shriners up in Wilmington. He runs a great business, is very attentive to it and is very knowledgeable about it as well. He is a nice guy, seen all over the city and, again, very popular. When you see him – and you can’t mistake his height and his bald head and beard – say “Hi” and have a great conversation with him. He is very friendly to everyone. Shouldn’t we all be like that?
