BY: Senator JACOBS
COMMENDING John Fucina, Sr. upon the occasion of
his designation for special recognition after 35
years of dedicated service to the Newton Abbott
Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. on April 1, 2017
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 commend John
Fucina, Sr. upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 35 years of dedicated service to the Newton Abbott Volunteer Fire
Company, Inc., celebrated at its 83rd Annual Awards Banquet on Saturday,
April 1, 2017, at the Pearl Street Bar and Grill in Buffalo, New York;
and
WHEREAS, John Fucina, Sr. is receiving this distinguished award for
his steadfast and unremitting commitment to the Newton Abbott Volunteer
Fire Company and to his community; and
WHEREAS, Chartered in 1934, the Newton Abbott Volunteer Fire
Company, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization which provides fire
protection, heavy rescue, and emergency medical services to one of nine
fire protection districts in the Town of Hamburg, New York; the
district, located in the northeastern corner of the town, is largely
commercial/industrial with several residential communities; 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;
John Fucina, Sr. is such a firefighter; 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
commend John Fucina, Sr. upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 35 years of dedicated service to the Newton
Abbott Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. on April 1, 2017; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to John Fucina, Sr.
