In a solemn moment at the Massachusetts Legislature's Formal House Session on June 18, 2025, members gathered to honor the memory of Richard Serino Sr., a beloved figure in the Revere community. Representatives Giannino, Turco, and Galvin led the assembly in a moment of silence for Serino, who tragically passed away the previous day. A United States Marine Corps veteran and retired Revere police officer, Serino dedicated over three decades to public service, becoming a familiar presence as the motorcycle traffic officer. His legacy of kindness and festive spirit, particularly through his holiday lawn displays, left a lasting impact on his family and the community he served.

As the session progressed, the atmosphere shifted from mourning to celebration with the introduction of a remarkable young guest. Angelo Sade, a recent graduate from Greater Lawrence Technical School, was recognized for his extraordinary achievement of maintaining perfect attendance since kindergarten. Accompanied by his proud parents, Maria and Tony, Angelo's accomplishment was met with applause, highlighting the importance of dedication and perseverance in education.

The session also included procedural matters, with several representatives requesting to be recorded on previous roll calls, reflecting the ongoing engagement of the members in legislative processes. As the meeting concluded, the blend of remembrance and celebration underscored the community spirit that defines Massachusetts, leaving attendees with a sense of connection and hope for the future.
