through the ranks of community leadership and eventually becoming Fire
Commissioner of the Millwood Fire District; and

 WHEREAS, Neil Francis Gollogly played a pivotal role in securing
plans for a new firehouse, laying the groundwork for future generations
of first responders; he was also a Charter Member of the Westchester
County Parade Judges Association, enjoying the fellowship and tradition
of the region's fire service; and

 WHEREAS, Neil Francis Gollogly is survived by his devoted wife of 49
years, Nan; children, Neil (Beth) Gollogly, Thomas Gollogly, Kathy
(Stan) Heist, Marianne Reba, and Douglas (Kate) Gollogly;
daughter-in-law, Sandy Gollogly; grandchildren, Kate, Kelly, Kevin,

 WHEREAS, Neil Francis Gollogly always acted with conviction and a
deep commitment to his community; his strong values and faith shaped the
family he raised and the legacy he leaves behind; he will always be
remembered for his integrity, fierce work ethic, sense of humor, and
friendly smile; and

 WHEREAS, Armed with a humanistic spirit and imbued with a sense of
compassion, Neil Francis Gollogly leaves behind a legacy which will long
endure the passage of time and will remain as a comforting memory to all
he served and befriended; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
mourn the death of Neil Francis Gollogly; and be it further
