occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to the North

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

Donald Geib upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to the North Bailey Fire Company;
and

WHEREAS, Donald Geib has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and

WHEREAS, Chief of the North Bailey Fire Company from 2015 through
2017, Donald Geib also has held numerous offices within the organization
and was a longtime member of the North Bailey Fire Company drill team,
softball and bowling teams; he continues to attend many fire and
emergency medical service calls, training drills, and fire prevention
details; and

WHEREAS, Over the last several years, Donald Geib held the honor of
being the company's top responder; 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;
Donald Geib 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 former Chief Donald Geib upon the occasion of his designation for
