Senate Resolution No. 813

BY: Senator LAVALLE

        HONORING Ronald Butkovich upon the occasion of his
        designation  as  Firefighter  of  the  Year  by  the
        Southold Fire Department

  WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are  inspired  by  and
indebted  to  our  noble  volunteer firefighters who exhibit courage and
bravery every day in the course of their duties; and

  WHEREAS,  Volunteer  firefighters  exemplify  the  power  of   human
compassion  and  the  strength of the American spirit through actions of
the  most  heroic  magnitude;  their  sacrifices  and   their   selfless
dedication  merit  tribute and recognition by all citizens of this great
country; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body  is  justly  proud  to  honor  Ronald
Butkovich  upon  the  occasion  of his designation as Firefighter of the
Year by the Southold Fire Department to  be  celebrated  at  its  Annual
Installation Dinner on Saturday, April 6, 2019, at Atlantis Aquarium and
Ballroom, Riverhead, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor,  and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first to
respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation
accident, natural disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis,  or  spill
of hazardous materials; and

  WHEREAS,  It  takes  a  special  dedication, a strong desire to help
others and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious  time  with
family  and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in need;
Ronald Butkovich is such a firefighter; throughout his years of  devoted
service,  this volunteer heroically performed, above and beyond the call
of  duty,  those  responsibilities  which  define  the  task   of   fire
protection; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor  Ronald  Butkovich  upon  the  occasion  of  his  designation   as
Firefighter  of  the  Year  by  the  Southold Fire Department; and be it
further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Firefighter Ronald Butkovich.
