HR225: HR225 Battersby; Kyran George; condolences

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a ceremonial tribute, not a change to state law. It recounts the life of Kyran George Battersby, who was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1951, moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1971, and settled in Ringgold, Georgia, in 1994. It describes his more than 30 year career in Kelly Cadillac's sales department, his marriage to his wife Janet, his two children, and his personality and hobbies. The resolution formally states that House members join in honoring his memory and expressing regret at his passing. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare an official copy of the resolution for delivery to his family. It does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute.
