LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Honig upon
the occasion of celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary
WHEREAS, Leonard and Saundra Honig of Massapequa, New York, were united
in marriage on November 20, 1955; the couple recently celebrated this
significant and happy milestone with family and friends at a restaurant
in Pelham, New York; and
WHEREAS, They are the proud parents of three children, and the loving
grandparents of three grandsons; and
WHEREAS, Leonard and Saundra Honig are and always have been a tower of
strength, support, understanding and limitless love for their family;
and
WHEREAS, Their love, devotion, caring, sensitivity and responsiveness
to their family, friends and all who know them are their hallmark and
tradition; and
WHEREAS, This couple continues to live their lives with great dignity
and genuine grace, always demonstrating a deep and continuing concern
for human values and ideals, and in so doing, they have inspired others
to do the same; and
WHEREAS, This meaningful occasion is the result of the love, hard work
and spirit this couple has invested in their marriage; and
WHEREAS, Not unlike many young couples in the 1950s, Leonard and Saun-
dra Honig met at Grossinger's Resort in the Catskill Mountains; Leonard
Honig is a Korean War Veteran and a retired Professor from Saint Francis
College in Brooklyn Heights, New York; and
WHEREAS, Saundra Honig was a stay-at-home Mom until the 1970s, when
she chose to enter the workforce; she retired as the Director of Admis-
sions of the American Academy McAllister Institute in Manhattan, New
York; and
WHEREAS, These same values they have passed to their loved ones,
producing a family that is close-knit and supportive of its individual
members, public-minded in its relations to the community and committed
to the ideals of citizenship upon which this Nation was founded; and
WHEREAS, Leonard and Saundra Honig have touched the lives of their
family and many friends through the shining example of their marriage,
which is a testament to the devotion and admiration which they possess
for one another; and
WHEREAS, The longevity of this enduring marriage truly marks a mile-
stone in life's journey, an event of personal triumph and joy; 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
congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Leonard and Saundra Honig upon the occasion of
celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Mr. and Mrs. Leonard and Saundra Honig.
