The House concurrent resolution No. R-256 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 with his wife, Lynne Trageser, where they restored a historic home and contributed to the community through various roles, including as a member of the Vermont Bar Association and a teacher of criminal law.

Birmingham was not only a dedicated legal professional but also an enthusiastic athlete and mentor, coaching youth sports and serving as a trustee for the local library. His leadership as 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 a copy to them and the West Windsor Town Clerk, recognizing Birmingham's significant contributions to the community and the impact of his passing on those who knew him.
