Bill > HCR016

This concurrent resolution honors the life and public service of James H. Colvin, a longtime Bennington community leader who passed away on September 20, 2024, at age 77. The resolution highlights Colvin's multifaceted career, which included working as an educator at Mount Anthony Union High School and Molly Stark Elementary School, serving as a business entrepreneur by owning the Bennington Car Wash and Express Lube, and dedicating significant time to public service. His political and civic contributions spanned multiple roles, including five years as Bennington Select Board Chair, two terms in the Vermont House of Representatives (where he chaired the House Committee on Commerce), and over two decades as a Bennington County assistant judge. The resolution formally extends the General Assembly's sincere condolences to Colvin's family, including his wife Lodie, daughters, and grandchildren, and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to his family as a gesture of respect and remembrance.
