Honoree: Lawrence S. Fisk (1946-2018) served in the United States Navy on the U.S.S. Forrestal. Following his naval service, he became an accountant, working in large firms before becoming a sole proprietor. He was very involved in community and prefessional activities. He founded the local chapter of the New York State Society of Independent Accountants and was a delegate to the State and National societies. He was an officer and active member in the Parent-Teacher Association of every school that his children attended and even ran for the school board of District 21 because he believed that a parent of a child attending the public school should have a voice in decisions being made. As a former minor league baseball player, he enjoyed being a volunteer umpire for local neighborhood groups. He served as a member of the 70th Precinct rescue squad for many years. For thirty years, he was a member of Community Board 13, where he served as a chair and was a member of various committees, such as street closing, police, fire and public safety, education, housing and zoning and land use. For several years, he was recognized for perfect attendance at board meetings. (Treyger)
