The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the Michigan House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 378.
A resolution of tribute for the Honorable LaMar Lemmons, Jr.
Whereas, As he brings to a close his tenure with the Michigan House of Representatives, it is an honor for the members of this legislative body to salute the Honorable LaMar Lemmons, Jr., for his many contributions on behalf of the people of Michigan, and, in particular, the residents of the Second District. LaMar Lemmons has distinguished himself in his three terms as a state representative, and uniquely, had the opportunity to serve along with his son, LaMar Lemmons, III, who represented the Third District during the Ninety-third Legislature; and
Whereas, LaMar Lemmons' entire career has embodied public service. As a veteran, businessman, and community leader, he has brought a wealth of talent and valuable insights to the work of the House. He has most recently served on the House Committees on Senior Health, Security and Retirement; Commerce; and Insurance. Through his work in these committees, he fought to bring fairness to auto insurance rates, enact credit reform, and raise the minimum wage, among other favored causes. Indeed, his leadership and concern for the well-being of others are an example for us all; and
Whereas, A native of Memphis, Tennessee, LaMar Lemmons moved to Detroit in 1950. In the ensuing 60 years, he attended the Detroit Institute of Technology, worked at Ford Motor Company and the Eppert Oil Company, and founded Lemmons Transportation. He is above all the proud father of four children. We wish him the best as he brings to a close his tenure with the Michigan House of Representatives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we hereby offer this expression of tribute to thank LaMar Lemmons, Jr., for his contributions to this legislative body and the people of the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Lemmons as evidence of our best wishes.
