BY: Senator LAVALLE
HONORING ex-Captain Bill Sanok upon the occasion
of his designation for special recognition after 50
years of dedicated service to the Riverhead Fire
Department
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 ex-Captain
Bill Sanok upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to the Riverhead Fire Department, to
be celebrated on Tuesday, August 14, 2018; and
WHEREAS, Bill Sanok joined the Riverhead Fire Department and the
Fire Police Patrol Company No. 1 on August 20, 1968; throughout his 50
years of service, Bill Sanok has held several positions with Fire Police
Patrol Company No. 1 including: 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, and
Captain; and
WHEREAS, A true asset to his community, Bill Sanok currently serves
as Treasurer of Fire Police Company No. 1, as well as Public Information
Officer for the Riverhead Fire Department; he is also a board member of
the Suffolk County Fire Academy; 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;
Bill Sanok 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 ex-Captain Bill Sanok upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the Riverhead
Fire Department; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to ex-Captain Bill Sanok.
