LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Irving Weinreb upon
the occasion of celebrating their 70th Wedding Anniversary

WHEREAS, Evelyn Katz and Irving Weinreb met in the Bronx at a cousin's
Bar Mitzvah and, over the course of approximately five years, their
relationship grew, was nurtured, and blossomed, so that on May 6, 1939,
they married and began what would be a long and loving relationship; and
WHEREAS, Throughout their married life, while raising their family,
Evelyn worked as a bookkeeper and Irving as a monument carver; and
WHEREAS, During World War II, even though he was 29 and the father of
one young child, Irving Weinreb was drafted into the United States Army
on VE Day (Victory in Europe Day, May 8, 1945) and served his country as
a draftsman until VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day, August 15, 1945); and
WHEREAS, Today, Evelyn and Irving Weinreb are the proud parents of
three gifted, talented and beautiful children, Dianne (Stafford)
Sandler, Rona (Robert) Kuhn, and Harvey Weinreb, and the loving grand-
parents of six wonderful grandchildren, Nicole and Jaclyn Sandler,
Matthew and Allison Weinreb, and Justin and Remy Kuhn, and one great-
grandson, Achilles Weinreb, all of whom adore their Bubbie and Poppie;
and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Weinreb are and always have been a tower
of strength, support, understanding and limitless love for their family,
and this love along with their devotion, caring, sensitivity and respon-
siveness to their family, friends and all who know them are their hall-
mark and tradition; and
WHEREAS, For the first 15 years of their marriage, Evelyn and Irving
Weinreb lived in the Bronx, and then chose to live the next 40 years in
Clearview Gardens in Whitestone, Queens, where their daughter, Dianne,
and son Harvey still reside; and
WHEREAS, Everywhere they have lived, Evelyn and Irving Weinreb have
been active, respected, and well-loved members of their community; they
have participated in the Clearview Jewish Center, the Clearview Gardens
Credit Union, local PTA activities, and sports activities including the
DePhillips Athletic League; and
WHEREAS, While Evelyn, 91 years-old and Irving, 94 years-old, are
retired and live in Coconut Creek, Florida, their enthusiasm for life
and dedication to service continues as exemplified by their ardent
support and work on Barack Obama's presidential campaign; and
WHEREAS, They are a beautiful example of commitment in a world where
this quality is all too rare and after 70 years together, still love and
are thoroughly devoted to each other; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when an occa-
sion of such importance is brought to our attention, the same should be
memorialized by us for the edification and emulation of others; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor and congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Irving Weinreb upon the occasion of
celebrating their 70th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Mr. and Mrs. Irving Weinreb, and their children, Dianne,
