LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring ex-Chief William Delgado upon the occa-
sion of his designation for special recognition after 25 years of dedi-
cated service to the Floral Park Centre Fire Company
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, Since the early days of "teapot steamers," the volunteer
firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to honor ex-Chief William
Delgado upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 25 years of dedicated service to the Floral Park Centre Fire
Company to be celebrated at its Annual Installation Dinner on Friday,
May 15, 2015, at the New Hyde Park Inn, New Hyde Park, New York; and
WHEREAS, William Delgado served as Chief of Department in 2001, and
from 2007 to 2008; in addition, he has worked as a New York City Emer-
gency Medical Technician, and as a Port Authority Policeman, recently
retiring with the esteemed rank of Sergeant; and
WHEREAS, Currently, William Delgado is a President of the Floral Park
Centre Fire Company Board of Commissioners; and
WHEREAS, With him throughout have been his wife, Sonja, and their
three children, Michelle, Jonathan, and Alicia, all of whom feel privi-
leged to be a part of his life and rejoice in his achievements; 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, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our valiant firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery
every day in the course of their duties; 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; William
Delgado is such a firefighter; throughout his 25 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 ex-Chief William Delgado upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 25 years of dedicated service to the Floral
Park Centre Fire Company; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to ex-Chief William Delgado.
