Summary

SR0926 is a Senate Resolution that expresses condolences for the passing of Richard L. 'Dick' Smith, a prominent figure from Moline, Illinois. Born on December 10, 1939, Smith served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Oriskany and had a long career at Case IH before his retirement in 1992. This resolution serves not only to honor his memory but also to acknowledge his contributions to the community and the lives he touched through his work and personal relationships.
