HONORING Firefighter Dave Peck upon the occasion
of his designation for special recognition after 50
years of distinguished service to the Kenilworth
Fire Company

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

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Firefighter
Dave Peck upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of distinguished service to the Kenilworth Fire Company,
celebrated at its Installation Banquet on Saturday, February 3, 2018, at
Pearl Street Grill and Brewery, Buffalo, New York; and

WHEREAS, Dave Peck is receiving this auspicious recognition for his
steadfast and unremitting commitment to the Kenilworth Fire Company; 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;
Dave Peck 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
honor Firefighter Dave Peck upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of distinguished service to the
Kenilworth Fire Company; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Dave Peck.
