LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring Kelvin Daniel upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition

WHEREAS, It is incumbent upon the people of the State of New York to
recognize and acknowledge those within our midst who have made signif-
icant contributions to the quality of life therein; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Kelvin Daniel upon the occasion of his designation for special recogni-
tion, to be celebrated on Sunday, July 29, 2012, at the 50th Anniversary
of Independence for Trinidad and Tobago event in Brooklyn, New York; and
WHEREAS, Born in 1943 in Barataria, Trinidadian native Kelvin Daniel
has always been a humble, altruistic individual; in his late teens, he
migrated to the United States and has lived in Brooklyn ever since; and
WHEREAS, At the age of 25, Mr. Daniel joined the United States Air
Force; his duration in the Air Force further drove his humility, and in
1968, he left the Air Force with his earnings and more importantly, a
new outlook on life; and
WHEREAS, Kelvin Daniel quickly found a job with the United States
Postal Service where he was a mail carrier until 1974; that same year,
he embarked on a 25-year career as an MTA bus driver; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Daniel retired in 1999 and has been an active member in
the community ever since; he became president of the Win-Clarke block
association in 2009 with the intent to fully support the community; and
WHEREAS, A true asset to society, Kelvin Daniel's distinguished record
merits the recognition and respectful tribute of this Legislative Body;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Kelvin Daniel upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Kelvin Daniel.
