S. R. No. 158  LSC 128 19-157

A RESOLUTION



Senators Harris, Gillmor 

In memory of Trooper Andrew C. Baldridge.
       WHEREAS,  The members of the Senate of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Trooper Andrew C. Baldridge and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends; and

       WHEREAS,  A 2003 graduate of Carey High School, Andrew Baldridge 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 2009 graduate of the Ohio State Highway Patrol Academy, he was assigned to the Bucyrus Post, and he was responding to a call on February 4, 2010, when he was killed in the line of duty; and

       WHEREAS,  Giving generously of his energy and abilities, Andrew Baldridge displayed exceptional concern and insight and was tireless in his work to better the world around him. He always used his talents to the benefit of those around him, and although the void his death has created can never be filled, the legacy of care and commitment he established will surely live on. His absence will be keenly felt; and

       WHEREAS,  At a time when many people are content to take a passive role in life, law enforcement officers often risk their own safety, and in fact their lives, to ensure the well-being of their fellow citizens. The devotion to duty that Andrew Baldridge showed in all of his endeavors earned him the genuine respect and gratitude of his colleagues and of the community he so capably served. The world is a richer place for his having been in it, and he will be truly missed; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the Senate of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, express a profound sense of loss and sincere regret at the death of Trooper Andrew C. Baldridge and, in so doing, pay tribute to the memory of a truly unique individual; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of Trooper Andrew C. Baldridge.

I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 158, adopted by the Ohio Senate, February 9, 2010.
