  Mr. ISRAEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Frank 
Pellegrini, who passed away on March 25, 2010.
  Frank touched the lives of people all over Long Island and he will be 
remembered as a man who showed grace and humility in all aspects of his 
life. For 40 years, he worked at Farmingdale State College where he 
served thousands of students and teachers through his roles as an 
Organic Chemistry teacher and then the Dean of the College of Arts and 
Sciences.
  Frank also served for 35 years as the Chief and Commissioner of the 
Dix Hills Fire Department where his heroic efforts touched the lives of 
countless members of the community. Frank possessed extreme bravery and 
a passion for helping others.
  Frank Pellegrini will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough 
to know him and his memory will remain a fixture in both institutions 
where he served for so long.
