The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 18.
A resolution of tribute offered in memory of Thomas Husband, former Clerk of the House.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body and many who work at the Capitol were saddened to learn of the passing of Thomas Husband, who served the people of this state as the Clerk of the Michigan House of Representatives from 1981 to 1983. With his dedication to this state and involvement with public issues over the years, it is clear that Tom Husband had an understanding of the legislative process and a respect for government service that will be missed; and
Whereas, A veteran who served his country as a Navy pilot, Tom Husband was a graduate of Michigan State University. He distinguished himself throughout his 7 years as chief of staff with Speaker Bobby Crim. Then, as now, this position demanded an exceptional level of energy and commitment, and a thorough grasp not only of procedures and policy, but also of personalities. Mr. Husband's talents and knowledge were put to good use following his election by the members as the Clerk of the House; and
Whereas, As Clerk, Tom Husband was an effective administrator, and he contributed to the work of the House of Representatives during a period fraught with serious financial challenges. His personal integrity and business-like approach to his responsibilities earned him widespread respect. Following his service in 1983, he worked in private industry, before returning to involvement with state policy making through his own company; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of tribute to honor the memory of Thomas Husband, who served this legislative body as Clerk of the House from 1981 to 1983; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Mr. Husband's family as evidence of our sincere condolences.
