Bill > SR0064

This resolution mourns the passing of Harold Alexander "Sandy" Stewart, a wood research scientist who worked for the USDA Forest Service Laboratory and later at Mississippi State University's Forest Products Laboratory. The resolution highlights Stewart's educational background, having graduated from Bentley High School in 1958 and earning multiple degrees from the University of Michigan, including a Bachelor of Science, a Bachelor of Science in Forestry, and a master's degree in wood technology. It notes that Stewart was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1940, married Carol Smith in 1962, and retired from his scientific work in 2003. The resolution acknowledges his family members, including those who preceded him in death (his parents and brothers) and those who survive him (his wife Carol, three children, and a sister-in-law). The Illinois Senate formally expresses its condolences to Stewart's family and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to his family as a gesture of sympathy, recognizing his professional contributions and personal life.
