                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN J. FASO

                        Thursday, March 8, 2018

  Mr. FASO. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect that I rise today to 
recognize Mr. Tom Cole who has served as a member of the East Kingston 
Fire Department for fifty years.
  A broad thinker and steward of the Ulster County community, I admire 
Mr. Cole's curiosity. Even though he has many years of experience, 
having served as Fire Chief and responded to many unique situations, 
Mr. Cole is an eager student, always willing to improve his skills and 
expand his knowledge.
  Members of our local fire service play an important role in our 
Upstate communities, selflessly responding to emergency situations and 
safeguarding our neighborhoods. The commitment of Mr. Cole to our state 
through his fifty years with the East Kingston Fire Department is a 
milestone very few have reached. Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues 
join me in honoring Mr. Cole for his lifetime of hard work and 
dedicated service.
