  WHEREAS,  Senior citizens bring a wealth of experience and knowledge
to the increasingly active roles they play  in  today's  society;  their
past  contributions  and  future  participation are a vital part of, and
valuable asset to, the fabric of community life and activity; and

Cantanucci  upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition

Lounge in The Egg, Albany, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Each May, the New York State Office for the Aging pauses to
acknowledge the outstanding contributions made by older citizens  during
National Older Americans Month; and

  WHEREAS,  Members  of  older generations have helped build and shape
our Nation to be the greatest in  the  world;  they  have  defended  our
freedoms  and  values  to ensure that those who come after them may have
better lives; nowhere in the Nation is the legacy of their efforts  more
visible  and  more  a part of the lives of all citizens than here in the
State of New York; and

  WHEREAS,  With  a  steadfast  and  unwavering  commitment   to   his
community,  Anthony Cantanucci has served with the Speigletown Volunteer
Fire Company and as a member of the New York State  Guard;  commendably,
at  the  age  of  70,  he  trained  as a Certified First Responder, then
upgraded to an Emergency Medical Technician for the West Fort  Ann  Fire
Department; and

  WHEREAS, Anthony Cantanucci also trained in High Angle Rescue, Swift
Water Rescues, and is a Certified Scuba Diver; and

  WHEREAS, Today, Anthony Cantanucci serves as Fire Police Captain and
a  Class C Firefighter with the West Fort Ann Volunteer Fire Department;
he is also an Honor  Guard,  Color  Guard,  and  an  Adjutant  with  the
American Legion Post No. 703; and

  WHEREAS, In addition, Anthony Cantanucci is a member of the Fort Ann
EMS Rescue Squad, Washington County Fire Police, the New York State Fire
Police  Association,  Queen  Anne Senior Citizens Club, Senior Center of
Kingsbury/Fort Edward, and the Barnstormers Snowmobile Club; and

  WHEREAS, This extraordinary man has  also  given  of  his  time  and
energies  to  the  Corner  Stone Church Food Pantry, St. Anne's Catholic
Church, and the Fort Ann Historical Society, where he  was  instrumental
in  the  completion  and  publishing of the book, Fort Ann: 300 Years of
History; and

  WHEREAS, Rare indeed  is  the  impressive  dedication  shown  by  an
individual  for  the  benefit  of  others  which  Anthony Cantanucci has
displayed throughout his life; and

  WHEREAS,  Anthony Cantanucci, a very active and industrious man, has
inspired  and  enriched  the  lives  of  those  he  serves  through  his
volunteerism,  generously  sharing  the  wisdom  gained  over  years  of
experiencing life to its fullest; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
honor  Anthony  Cantanucci  upon  the  occasion  of  his designation for
special recognition by the New York State Office for the  Aging  on  May
21, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Anthony Cantanucci.
