Bill > H5150

This resolution honors Alan Shawn Feinstein, a prominent philanthropist and entrepreneur from Rhode Island, by extending condolences to his family and recognizing his significant lifetime achievements. Born in Massachusetts and a graduate of Boston University, Feinstein was a teacher, writer, and passionate advocate against hunger who established the Feinstein Foundation in 1991, which encouraged students to perform good deeds and helped raise over $2.5 billion to support local school programs and fight hunger. Throughout his life, he received numerous prestigious awards, including distinctions from the American History Society and American Red Cross, and was named Rhode Island Citizen of the Year, with several schools bearing his name in recognition of his contributions. The resolution specifically extends deepest sympathy to his wife of 61 years, Pratarnporn Feinstein, his daughter Leila, and his grandchildren, while also directing the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies of the resolution to his family, acknowledging Feinstein's remarkable legacy of generosity, integrity, and service that profoundly enriched the lives of generations of Rhode Islanders.
