LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Outgoing President Frank Leeb for his
distinguished service to the East Farmingdale Volunteer 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 justly proud to commend Outgoing
President Frank Leeb for his distinguished service to the East Farming-
dale Volunteer Fire Company as he is honored at the Company's Annual
Installation Dinner to be held on Saturday, January 18, 2014; and
WHEREAS, With over 30 years of service, Frank Leeb is receiving the
Longevity of Service Award and will remain as Director of the East Farm-
ingdale Volunteer Fire Company; 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, 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; Outgo-
ing President Frank Leeb is such a firefighter; throughout his years of
devoted service, he has 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 Outgoing President Frank Leeb for his distinguished service to
the East Farmingdale Volunteer Fire Company; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Frank Leeb.
