HR39: HR39 Fallin, William G.; condolences

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a formal tribute to William G. Fallin, who died on January 4, 2025. It recounts his life story: his birth in Thomas County, Georgia in 1932, his service in the United States Army during the Korean War, his decades of involvement at First Baptist Church as a deacon and Sunday School teacher, and his family, including his wife of 67 years and his children, grandchildren, and great-granddaughters. The resolution does not change any law. It simply states that the House joins in honoring his memory and expresses regret at his passing, and it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for his family.
