AI Summary

This resolution congratulates Sidney J. DeRollo on the occasion of his 100th birthday on October 27, 2024, recognizing his remarkable life journey and contributions. Born in Frankfort, New York, DeRollo served in the United States Army during World War II, fighting in North Africa, France, Italy, and England, and was awarded multiple military medals before his honorable discharge in 1946. After the war, he attended Shrivenham University in England and Mount St. Mary's College in Maryland, studying Pre-Medicine. He married his high school sweetheart, Lena Maneen, in 1947 and together they had eight children, eventually growing their family to include 18 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. DeRollo was actively involved in his community, faithfully attending Catholic Church and serving as a lectern and Eucharistic Minister. Though he lost his wife Lena in January 2023 after 75 years of marriage, he is celebrated for his zest for life, wisdom, and ability to inspire others. The resolution acknowledges DeRollo as an exceptional centenarian who has witnessed significant cultural and technological developments throughout the past century and has contributed to the growth and excellence of New York State.
