The House Concurrent Resolution honors the memory of Matthew T. Birmingham III, a respected former Town Moderator of West Windsor, who passed away on January 15, 2026, at the age of 77. A native of New Haven, Connecticut, Birmingham had a distinguished educational background, including a bachelor's degree from Trinity College and a juris doctorate from Boston College Law School. He moved to West Windsor in 1976, where he and his wife restored a historic home and became active members of the community. Throughout his legal career, he was involved with various bar associations, taught criminal law, and was known for his humanitarian efforts.

Birmingham's contributions to the community extended beyond his legal work; he was an enthusiastic athlete and coach, mentoring youth in sports and serving as a trustee for the local library. His leadership as the town moderator for 34 years was marked by his adherence to Roberts Rules of Order and his engaging personality. The resolution expresses condolences to his family and directs the Secretary of State to send copies to them and the West Windsor Town Clerk, recognizing Birmingham's significant impact on the community and his legacy of service.
