Assembly Resolution No. 666 BY: M. of A. McMahon HONORING Firefighter Carl Geib upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the North Bailey 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 Carl Geib upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the North Bailey Fire Company to be celebrated at its Annual Installation of Officers banquet on Saturday, January 25, 2020, at The Westin Buffalo; and WHEREAS, In 1969, Carl Geib joined the North Bailey Fire Company, and as a dedicated member for the past five decades, he has held numerous positions within the organization; and WHEREAS, Today, he continues to attend many Fire and EMS calls, as well as Training Drills and Fire Prevention details; and WHEREAS, Firefighter Carl Geib was a longtime member of both the North Bailey Fire Company's bowling team and the drill team; 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; Carl Geib is one such 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 Firefighter Carl Geib upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the North Bailey Fire Company; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to Firefighter Carl Geib.
