BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
| WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio extend our
heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Jerry Hammond in their bereavement; and |
| WHEREAS, Jerry Hammond's zealous love of life and his selfless concern for the welfare of others distinguished
him as an outstanding human being and as a leading citizen. The former chair of the Police Community Relations Committee,
he was a member of Columbus City Council for sixteen years, including six years as its President, and during his tenure, he
worked to outlaw discrimination in employment and housing, develop the KingLincoln District, strengthen neighborhoods,
establish permanent funding for the arts, and create the Community Shelter Board and Ft. Hayes Career Center. Indeed, he was
a dedicated and devoted public servant whose exemplary career serves as an inspiration for others; and |
|
WHEREAS, A man of exceptional concern and commitment, Jerry Hammond also achieved a praiseworthy record
of service as a member of the Ohio Environmental Board of Review and the Franklin County Children's Services Board, and he
opened a jazz club, Major Chord. His untiring efforts earned him national recognition in the area of human services needs; and |
| WHEREAS, Giving freely of his time and abilities far beyond what was required or expected, Jerry Hammond
displayed exceptional civic concern and insight, and his efforts will certainly live beyond him. The warmth and understanding he
so readily extended to others will stand as a testament to his personal character, and his memory will remain forever in the hearts
of those who knew and loved him, including his two children, Charlene and Gerry, and his three grandchildren, Chad, Christopher,
and Jaden; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio, in
adopting this Resolution, pay tribute to the memory of a truly honorable man, Jerry Hammond; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to
the family of Jerry Hammond. |
