1     WHEREAS, Bill could be counted on at all times and in all
2 places to bring a smile to others with his wit and humor; the

9 that set Bill Anderson apart from all others and keeps his
10 memory fresh in our minds; therefore, be it
 
11     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
12 NINETY-FIFTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
13 we, along with many people across the State of Illinois, mourn
14 the passing of Bill Anderson, but are comforted knowing that he
15 is at peace, and understand we are all much better off for
16 knowing him; and be it further
 
17     RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be
18 presented to Letitia, Taylor, and Allison with our deepest
19 sympathy.
