Bill > H6169

This resolution expresses condolences on the passing of Ronald D. Newman, a long-time Richmond, Rhode Island resident who dedicated his life to public service and community involvement. The resolution highlights Newman's professional career as a Marketing Specialist and Inspector at the Rhode Island Department of Agriculture for 29 years, where he played a significant role in promoting local agricultural products and helping preserve farmland. It also recognizes his political service on the Richmond Town Council during the 1990s and again in 2014-2016, noting his commitment to bipartisanship and finding common ground. The resolution celebrates Newman as a compassionate, humorous individual who was devoted to making Rhode Island a better place, and who was a beloved husband to Cathleen Newman and a supportive brother and uncle to his family. Ultimately, the resolution formally extends the Rhode Island House of Representatives' deepest condolences to the Newman family and directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to Cathleen Newman and her family as a gesture of sympathy and respect.
