Mourning the death of Jesse Beller, distinguished citizen, musician, and devoted member of his community
This is a ceremonial Senate Resolution (not a bill) honoring Jesse Beller, a Croton-on-Hudson resident who died at age 100 in December 2025. It commemorates his life as a musician, WWII veteran, math teacher, community volunteer, and family man through a formal legislative tribute. The resolution requests the New York State Senate "pause in its deliberations" to mourn his passing and directs that a copy be sent to his family. It has no policy impact or legal effect - it is purely a symbolic gesture of respect.
