S. R. No. 158
128th General Assembly | Regular Session | 2009-2010 |
| |
A RESOLUTION | 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. |
