Bill > HR0184

This resolution mourns the passing of Fred H. Bright Jr., a long-serving public servant who was the former Mayor of East Alton, Illinois, and honors his significant contributions to community and law enforcement. Born in Granite City in 1942, Bright served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and had an extensive career in law enforcement, working with the Madison County Sheriff's Department, Alton Police Department, and serving as Chief of Police for East Alton before being elected Mayor for five terms. Beyond his public service, he was an insurance agent for State Farm since 1983 and actively involved in community organizations like the Wood River Masonic Lodge and Ainad Shrine Temple. The resolution acknowledges his dedication to public service, extends condolences to his surviving family (two daughters, four grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren), and directs that copies of the resolution be presented to his family and the Village of East Alton as a gesture of sympathy and remembrance.
