Bill > SR56

This resolution, passed by the Senate of Virginia, expresses sorrow at the passing of Joseph Williamson Luter III, a prominent businessman and philanthropist who significantly expanded Smithfield Foods into a global pork processing leader and generously supported various causes in the South Hampton Roads region. The resolution highlights his humble beginnings, his early leadership of the family business, his role in revitalizing Bryce Resort, and his transformative leadership at Smithfield Foods, which he grew into a $13 billion enterprise. It also acknowledges his deep connection to his hometown of Smithfield, his mentorship, and his lasting impact on the community through his support of local institutions. The Senate has directed the Clerk to prepare a copy of this resolution for his family as a token of respect for his memory.
