Beach with family and friends. More than anything, he cherished his time with his family and was

17

honored and proud to serve the public as a police officer with the Coventry Police Department;

18

now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island hereby

2

Coventry Police Department; and be it further

3
