[Morell]: announcements, accolades, remembrances, reports, and records. 23-064 offered by Councilor Caraviello will be it resolved that the Medford City Council send its deepest and sincere condolences to the family of Vincent DiClemente on his recent passing. Mr. DiClemente served his country during the Korean War. He, along with his wife, volunteered running the St. Francis Food Pantry for 32 years. He was also honored as Citizen of the Year, along with his wife, Jerry, for their work in the community. His presence in our community will be missed. Councilor Caraviello.
[Caraviello]: Thank you, Madam President. For those who don't know the DiClemente family, you want to talk about a family that is the salt of the earth? It's Mr. and Mrs. DiClemente. They ran the St. Francis food pantry for 32 years, pretty much on a volunteer organization. Talk about somebody also flew under the radar. No one ever, no accolades were ever asked for or given to him and his wife. The only accolade they ever got was they were husband and wife citizen of the year. But, you know, it just goes to say, you know, their work in the community was just outstanding. And as Councilor Scarpelli keeps mentioning, nobody's stepping in. to fill another giant set of shoes in the community. So I just want to thank Mr. DiClemente for all his years of service to our community, and hopefully someone will step up to fill those shoes going forward.
