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 were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Harvey Pekar and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends; and

       WHEREAS, Harvey Pekar left an indelible impression on the people whose lives he touched, and he will be remembered as a spirited individual who contributed immeasurably to the world around him. A comic legend, he was best known for his acclaimed autobiographical comicbook series, "American Splendor," and his absence will be keenly felt; and

       WHEREAS, Harvey Pekar's regard for improving the quality of life in our society was clearly evident in his personal sacrifices of time and effort to his family, friends, and community. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, he gave generously of his energy and abilities in all of his endeavors, and he displayed exceptional concern and insight; and

       WHEREAS, A loving husband to his wife, Joyce, Harvey Pekar always used his talents to the benefit of others, and the laurels of his life stand as a tribute not only to him but also to those he left behind. Although the void his death has created can never be filled, the legacy of care and commitment he established will surely live on. It is certain that the world is a richer place for his having been in it, and he will be sorely missed; therefore be it

       RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, express a profound sense of loss and sincere regret at the death of Harvey Pekar and, in so doing, pay tribute to the memory of a truly unique individual; 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 Harvey Pekar.
