  Mr. HOCHBRUECKNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding Long Island citizen who is retiring after 50 years of 
service with the Stony Brook, NY, Fire Department. Robert G. Wider has 
not only served our country when needed, he continues to serve our 
Nation, State, and community.
  Mr. Wider served our Nation in World War II, while stationed with the 
U.S. Army in Germany. Upon his return from duty, Mr. Wider joined Eagle 
Hook and Ladder No. 1. In 1974, he transferred to the Fire, Police and 
Lighting Company.
  Mr. Wider served as assistant chief of the Stony Brook Fire 
Department for 4 years and as chief for 1 year. Mr. Wider has also 
faithfully carried out his duties as a 5-year member of the 
department's benevolent board.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to rise today to recognize, 
along with the people of Stony Brook, Robert G. Wider for his many 
years of service with the Stony Brook Fire Department. I wish him well 
in his future endeavors.
