Senate Resolution No. 857

BY: Senator MARTINS

 HONORING Firefighter Robert Pape Jr. upon the
 occasion of his designation for special recognition
 after 25 years of dedicated service to the Atlantic
 Hook & Ladder Company No. 1

 WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery every
day in the course of their duties; and

 WHEREAS, 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 Robert Pape
Jr. upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after
25 years of dedicated service to the Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company No.
1 to be celebrated at the 139th Annual Installation Dinner Dance on
Friday, May 9, 2025, at the Royalton at Roslyn Country Club in Roslyn
Heights, New York; and

 WHEREAS, Robert Pape Jr. has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in fire service; and

 WHEREAS, A long-time resident of Port Washington, Robert Pape Jr.
was elected to membership in the Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 in
May of 2000; and

 WHEREAS, Throughout his devoted 25 years of service to his
community, Robert Pape Jr. has served not only as a firefighter but also
as a trusted mentor and spiritual advisor to his fellow members; he
continues to serve with distinction as the Chaplain of the Port
Washington Fire Department, providing guidance, comfort, and support to
all who serve; and

 WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected heroes 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 Pape Jr. is such a firefighter; throughout 25 years of devoted
service, this firefighter 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 Pape Jr. upon the occasion of his designation

for special recognition after 25 years of dedicated service to the
Atlantic Hook & Ladder Company No. 1; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Robert Pape Jr.
