HONORING CAPTAIN CHARLES DELISLE, BASIC EMT, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS

RETIREMENT FROM THE CUMBERLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT

     Introduced By: Senators Pearson, and Picard

     Date Introduced: February 05, 2015

     Referred To: Placed on the Senate Consent Calendar

     WHEREAS, Many people go through life without any personal contact with a potential

life and death situation, without a defining moment that turns an ordinary person into a hero.

Members of Rhode Island's fire departments face such challenges each and every week.

Cumberland Captain Charles Delisle is no exception; and

     WHEREAS, Service to the community has been a way of life for Captain Delisle. Joining

the department in July of 1984, Captain Delisle is a veteran firefighter who exemplifies the ideals

of an enthusiastic and truly dedicated leader. He has consistently demonstrated that no goal is too

vast and no amount of effort is too great to put forth in service to his colleagues and the

community; and

     WHEREAS, Captain Delisle, a lifelong Cumberland resident, has touched the lives and

hearts of so many people. He is truly an extraordinary man who serves as a model of dedicated

and conscientious civil service, and he is eminently worthy of our emulation and

acknowledgement; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the state of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

hereby recognizes, honors, and thanks Captain Charles Delisle on the occasion of his retirement

after more than thirty years of steadfast and unselfish service to the people of Cumberland and the

State of Rhode Island. We wish him good health, fulfillment and continued success in all his

future endeavors; and be it further

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to

transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Captain Charles Delisle.
