  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, last month, I had the pleasure of 
attending the Dorothy Volunteer Fire Company's presentation of 50-years 
of service plaques. At the event, a 50-years of service plaque was 
presented for Robert James Gibney. Bob was born in Philadelphia and 
moved to Dorothy, South Jersey as a young child. After graduating from 
Vineland High-School, he worked at Wheaton Plastics for 35 years until 
its closing. Additionally, at just 15 years old, Bob joined the Dorothy 
Volunteer Fire Company, where he accumulated 56 years of service. 
Throughout his years of service, he volunteered on the Dorothy Rescue 
Squad, Mays Landing Rescue Squad, and the New Jersey Forest Fire 
Service. Bob was eventually named Chief of the Dorothy Volunteer Fire 
Company and served in this role for many years. In his free time, he 
enjoyed spending time at the Winding River Campground or cooking for 
his friends and family. Unfortunately, Bob passed away on October 17, 
2021. Bob's service to the South Jersey community will never be 
forgotten, and may he rest in peace.
