generation owner, Reg Farney; not ones to sit idle, Gladyce and Vincent
Farney are still very much involved in the business they established;
and

full-time individuals; through Gladyce and Vincent Farney's vision,
determination and stellar work ethic, Reg and his employees continue the
Farney tradition of providing exemplary customer service and a wide
variety of quality products to its customers; and

WHEREAS, Under the luminous leadership of Reg Farney, Farney's Home
and Building Center looks forward to many more years of continued
excellence and growth serving the residents of the Village of Carthage,
and the surrounding areas; and

WHEREAS, It is with great pleasure that this Legislative Body
acknowledges this exceptional business and its contributions to the
local and State economies, fully confident that it will continue to
enjoy the sparkling successes it has experienced thus far; now,
therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
