LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Ex-Captain Thomas Tranfaglia upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition after 50 years of
dedicated service to the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department, Great
Neck, New York

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, This Legislative Body is justly proud to commend Ex-Captain
Thomas Tranfaglia upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Manhasset-Lake-
ville Fire Department, Great Neck, New York, to be celebrated at its
Annual Installation Dinner on Saturday, April 18, 2009, at The Long
Island Marriott, Uniondale, New York; and
WHEREAS, A lifelong resident of Manhasset, Thomas Tranfaglia joined
the Department on June 4, 1959; since then, he has served the Department
as 2nd Lieutenant, 1968-1970; 1st Lieutenant, 1970-1972; and Captain,
1972-1974; and
WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters and fire departments not only provide
the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other activ-
ities of great benefit and importance to the communities they serve; and
WHEREAS, With him throughout have been his wife, Marie, and their
children, Tom, Jr. and Terry, all of whom feel privileged to be a part
of his life and rejoice in his achievements; 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; Thomas
Tranfaglia 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 Ex-Captain Thomas Tranfaglia upon the occasion of his desig-
nation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to

further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Ex-Captain Thomas Tranfaglia.
