Bill > HJR62

This resolution, a formal expression of sentiment from the Virginia General Assembly, notes with sadness the passing of Emmett Pierce on October 22, 2025. It celebrates his life as an honorable veteran who served in the special forces of the U.S. Army's 11th Airborne Division, a respected machinist at Reynolds Metals and for Hanover County Parks and Recreation, and an accomplished musician who played lead guitar and sang tenor with the Bluegrass Clippers and the Disciples. The resolution also highlights his deep faith and contributions to his community at Slash Christian Church, where he was involved in producing the Christmas Nativity play "Why the Star?". Emmett Pierce is remembered for his 56-year marriage to Julia, his children, and his many family members and friends, and the General Assembly has directed the Clerk of the House of Delegates to prepare a copy of this resolution for his family as a token of their respect.
