Assembly Resolution No. 98

BY: M. of A. Kolb

        COMMENDING  Firefighter  Lewis  Stewart  upon  the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  50  years  of dedicated service to the Victor
        Volunteer Fire Department

  WHEREAS, The firefighters of New York State are renowned  throughout
the  Nation;  their  reputation  is  synonymous  with  excellence in the
arduous field of fire protection and prevention; and

  WHEREAS, Since the early days of "teapot  steamers,"  the  volunteer
firefighter  has  been  the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to commend Firefighter Lewis
Stewart upon the occasion of his  designation  for  special  recognition
after  50  years  of  dedicated  service  to  the  Victor Volunteer Fire
Department to be celebrated on March 2, 2019, in Victor, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Lewis Stewart joined the Victor Volunteer  Fire  Department
on  March  3, 1969; from 1988-1991, he served the department as its Vice
President; and

  WHEREAS,  Volunteer  firefighters  and  fire  departments  not  only
provide the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other
activities  of  great  benefit  and  importance  to the communities they
serve; 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;
Lewis  Stewart  is  such  a  firefighter; throughout 50 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
commend Firefighter Lewis Stewart for 50 years of distinguished service;
and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Lewis Stewart.
