HONORING Firefighter Robert Lundquist upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 45 years of distinguished service to the
Kenilworth Fire Company

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 Firefighter
Robert Lundquist upon the occasion of his designation for special
recognition after 45 years of distinguished service to the Kenilworth
Fire Company, celebrated at its Installation Banquet on Saturday,
February 3, 2018, at Pearl Street Grill and Brewery, Buffalo, New York;
and

WHEREAS, Robert Lundquist is receiving this auspicious recognition
for his steadfast and unremitting commitment to the Kenilworth Fire
Company; 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;
Robert Lundquist is such a firefighter; throughout 45 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 Firefighter Robert Lundquist upon the occasion of his designation
for special recognition after 45 years of distinguished service to the
Kenilworth Fire Company; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Robert Lundquist.
