Mourning the death of Richard F. Tiedeman, United States veteran and distinguished citizen of his community

This Senate Resolution honors the life of Richard F. Tiedeman, a New York State veteran and community member who passed away on March 1, 2026. The bill recognizes his service in the United States Marine Corps, his career in business and insurance, and his contributions to local communities including his work at Liberty Mutual and later as a camera shop employee. It directs the legislative body to pause in its proceedings to mourn his death and authorizes sending a copy of the resolution to his family. The measure serves as a formal tribute rather than establishing new laws or policies.
