                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 2010

  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to commend to the 
House the admirable service of R. Stanley Crosley, chief of the city of 
Sidney's Department of Fire and Emergency Services, as he retires after 
a career of more than three decades with the city.
  Joining the department in 1978, Stan was tapped to serve as chief in 
1992. Under his leadership, the department has continually met the 
challenges inherent to the lifesaving work entrusted to it. The chief 
is hailed by his colleagues and peers for setting up a joint city-
county fire investigation unit, initiating firefighter wellness 
programs, and expanding Sidney's fire prevention program.
  Stan was named Shelby County Firefighter of the Year in 1977. He 
received the county's Distinguished Service Award in 2002 and the Ohio 
Fire Chiefs Association's Distinguished Service Award in 2006. In 
addition, he served as President of the OFCA from 2002 to 2004.
  His dedication to civic duty is further expressed in his work with 
the Shelby County United Way and Wilson Memorial Hospital.
  Stan received the department's Distinguished Service Award, its 
highest honor, at a Sidney City Council meeting earlier this month. 
This Friday, the department will host an open house where the public 
will gather to thank him for his 32 years of service on their behalf.
  I am proud to join the Chief's fellow firefighters in congratulating 
him on his long and distinguished career in public safety. He 
established a solid foundation on which his successor can continue to 
build to the benefit of everyone in Sidney.
  We wish Stan and his wife, Carole, every success as they move to a 
new chapter in their lives.
