AI Summary
This resolution honors the life and legacy of John A. Feroleto, a prominent trial lawyer from Buffalo, New York, who passed away unexpectedly on April 6th, 2025. Born in 1953, Feroleto was the first in his family to graduate college and earn a law degree from the University at Buffalo School of Law, where he met his wife Paula. In 1993, he founded Feroleto Law, a respected personal injury law firm where he and his three children worked together, and he was recognized as a distinguished trial lawyer, receiving the NYSTLA Trial Lawyer of the Year Award. Beyond his legal career, Feroleto was an avid marathon runner, gardener, and winemaker, but his greatest passion was his family, including his wife of 45 years and his grandchildren.
