Celeste, governor of Ohio; and |

| WHEREAS, Arnold Pinkney's personal and professional achievements 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 he will be remembered fondly by all those who knew and loved him; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, express a profound sense of loss and sincere regret at the death of Arnold R. Pinkney; and be it further |
