14	In addition, he was a volunteer with the Woodbury Scholarship Fund, Boy Scout Troop 54, and

18	now, therefore be
19	RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

1	hereby expresses our deepest sympathies on the passing of Dr. Anthony Joseph DiMaio; and be it
