| WHEREAS, Alex Boudreaux'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.

His untiring efforts earned him many richly deserved accolades, including being inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame in 2005 and receiving the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007; and |
| WHEREAS, Alex Boudreaux had given generously of his energy and abilities to all those who knew and loved him, including his wife, the late Mary, his three children, John, Anita, and the late Charles, and his four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. The warmth and understanding he readily extended to those around him will stand as a testament to his personal character; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, express a profound sense of loss and sincere regret at the death of Alex A. Boudreaux; and be it further |
