                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 22, 2010

  Mr. CASTLE. Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I pay 
tribute today to Bill Tobin, the incoming President of the Delaware 
Volunteer Firemen's Association (DVFA). President Tobin began his 
career in the DVFA as a mascot in the Goodwill Volunteer Fire Company 
in 1959. In 1975 he moved to Lewes, where he joined the Lewes Volunteer 
Fire Department.
  President Tobin's life has been dedicated to serving others. Along 
with his membership in the Lewes Fire Department, Bill served as 
President for the Georgetown American Legion Ambulance Company and 
later became active with the Memorial Volunteer Fire Department in 
Slaughter Beach. He has served Memorial well in the role of both 
Treasurer and as Chairman of the Board of Directors since 2000.
  I commend President Tobin on his dedication to Delaware's volunteer 
fire service and tireless efforts on behalf of his community. DVFA is 
fortunate to have such a man filling this important role. I am 
confident that President Tobin's experience and leadership will help 
DVFA continue on the path of exceptional service for which they are 
known across our state.
