Whereas, Gregory F. Velardi, Sr., joined the Property Owner League (P.O.L.) Fire Company No. 2 on February 5, 1956, and has faithfully served the Township of Wayne for over 50 years; and
Whereas, During those years, Mr. Velardi served Wayne as a volunteer firefighter and captain in P.O.L. Fire Company No. 2, and in various other capacities, including as a member of two building committees and the Fair Committee; and
Whereas, Mr. Velardi continues to be an active member and Trustee of P.O.L. Fire Company No. 2; and
Whereas, In addition to being a "Life Member" of his fire company, Mr. Velardi is also a "Life Member" of the New Jersey State Firemen's Association and the New Jersey State Exempt Firemen's Association; and
Whereas, It is altogether fitting and proper that the State of New Jersey honor the request of the membership of P.O.L. Fire Company No. 2 that the highway ramp off of State Highway Route No. 23 at Alps Road, which is located near the P.O.L. Fire Company No. 2 quarters, be named the "Gregory F.
