This resolution mourns the death of Richard A. "Dick" Anderson, a longtime resident of Kewanee, Illinois, who passed away on August 4, 2025. The document highlights Anderson's life achievements, including his 40-year career at Illinois Power, his role as business manager of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1306, and his service in the United States Army Reserve from 1961 to 1967. The resolution also celebrates his personal interests, particularly his passion for trap shooting and hunting, which took him to international destinations like Greenland, Africa, Argentina, and Canada. Anderson, who was born on August 16, 1938, was married to Carolyn Jean Edwards for 65 years and is survived by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The Illinois Senate formally expresses its condolences to Anderson's family and friends, and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to his family as a symbol of sympathy and remembrance.
