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

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a law) honoring Thomas Dinkler, a Croton-on-Hudson resident and longtime community member who died on May 19, 2025. The resolution memorializes his life, noting his 35-year career at Con Edison, service as Chief of the Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department (1996-2001), and role as grand marshal of the 2019 Summerfest Parade. It directs the legislature to "pause in its deliberations to mourn" his death and sends a copy of the resolution to his family. The resolution has no policy impact or direct effect on any individuals or groups beyond this symbolic tribute.
