        HONORING   Firefighter  Trenwith  Young  upon  the
        occasion of his designation for special  recognition
        after  60  years of dedicated service to the Belfast
        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
Trenwith  Young  upon  the  occasion  of  his  designation  for  special
recognition after 60 years of dedicated  service  to  the  Belfast  Fire
Company; and

  WHEREAS,  For  his  steadfast and unremitting commitment to both his
community and his company, Trenwith Young was named the 2019 Fireman  of
the Year; and

  WHEREAS,  Trenwith Young joined the New Hudson Fire Company in 1959,
and transferred to Belfast Fire Company in 1960; throughout his 60 years
of service, he held several positions within the  Department  including:
2nd  Assistant  Chief,  1962-1964;  and  1st Assistant Chief, 1964-1966;
Chief from 1966-1968; and President from 1972-1976; and

  WHEREAS, The son of the late Donald and Roberta Young, Trenwith  was
born  on  November  27, 1934, in Black Creek, New York; after graduating
from high school in Cuba, New York, he was employed with  Acme  Electric
holding various positions, such as draftsman and battery charger; and

  WHEREAS,  In  September  of  1969,  Firefighter  Trenwith  Young was
appointed  New  York  Fire  Instructor  for  Allegany  County  and  Fire
Investigator  in 1976 and 1977; also he completed an Arson Investigation

granddaughters, Ashley, Sandi, and Christina; two grandsons, Donald, and
Brandon;  and  great-grandchildren,  Jasmine,  Lily,   Thomas,   Ayoras,
Madelyn, and Ethan; 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;
Trenwith Young is one such firefighter; throughout 60 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 Trenwith Young upon the occasion  of  his  designation
for  special  recognition  after  60  years  of dedicated service to the
Belfast Fire Company; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Firefighter Trenwith Young.
