longtime friend,

[[Page E756]]

Isidore Shapiro, on the occasion of his 100th birthday this past 
February 2, 2019.
  After graduating with a Master of Social Work degree from the 
University of Pennsylvania in 1952, Mr. Shapiro committed his career to 
helping those who were struggling. During his storied career of public 
service, starting with serving as the Executive Director of the Queens 
County Mental Health Society and concluding as the first social worker 
to be appointed Commissioner of the Nassau Country Department of Mental 
Health, Mental Retardation, and Developmental Disabilities, Mr. Shapiro 
continually displayed both compassion and respect for the people he 
served and a devotion to seeing them attain success. During my years as 
Special Assistant to the Chief Deputy County Executive and then as 
County Comptroller I worked closely with Isidore. He is a true friend 
and dedicated public servant.
  After his time as Commissioner, Mr. Shapiro, along with his loving 
wife Goldie, happily retired to sunny Tuscan, Arizona. For his and 
Goldie's service to Nassau County, it is a privilege to wish him a 
happy 100th birthday.
