indebted to our noble volunteer firefighters who exhibit courage and
bravery every day in the course of their duties; and

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

Albert Hummer upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the North Bailey Fire
Company, to be celebrated at its Annual Installation of Officers banquet
on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the Reikart Ballroom, Buffalo, New York;
and

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

WHEREAS, A member of the North Bailey Fire Company since June 2,
1975, Albert Hummer has held the title of Fire Police Captain and Safety
Officer during his tenure and has been a proud member of the bowling
