                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 30, 2008

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I am pleased today to honor the 
accomplishments of Detective Gary Edenhofer of the Cheektowaga Police 
Department.
  Detective Edenhofer began his law enforcement career as a patrol 
officer on the midnight shift. He is now retiring as a detective after 
31 years with the force.
  Throughout his career Gary has worked on several high-profile cases 
including robberies and homicides. The Western New York community is 
greatly appreciative for the increased security Detective Edenhofer has 
offered them.
  Gary Edenhofer leaves behind a great legacy, as his career is marked 
by several highlights. In 1989 he was recognized by the Town Board for 
arresting suspects who had burglarized a gun store. He also received 
commendations in 2005 for his work investigating the abduction of a man 
left locked in a car trunk.
  Madam Speaker, I thank you for this opportunity to honor Detective 
Edenhofer's career with the Cheektowaga Police Department, and I ask 
you to join me in wishing him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

                          ____________________
