Mourning the death of Thomas Dinkler, distinguished citizen and devoted member of his community

This is a ceremonial Senate resolution (J 1084) honoring Thomas Dinkler, a Croton-on-Hudson, New York resident who died on May 19, 2025. It recognizes his 35-year career at Con Edison, service as Chief of the Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department (1996-2001), and long-term community involvement. The resolution formally asks the New York State Legislature to pause its proceedings to mourn his passing and directs that a copy be sent to his surviving family members. It has no policy impact, as it is purely a commemorative gesture with no new laws or funding.
