A R E S O L U T I O N
In
memory of Phillip Corbet Wagner.
WHEREAS,
The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio offer
our profound sympathies to the family and friends of Phillip Corbet
Wagner on the sorrowful occasion of his death; and
WHEREAS,
Phil Wagner will long be regarded as a remarkable individual who
contributed a great deal to his community and state. A proud veteran
of the U.S. Marine Corps, he served as a member of the Sheffield
Village Police Department before becoming an officer with the Lorain
Police Department, which posthumously awarded him a Purple Heart and
a Medal of Honor, and it is our sincere hope that his memory will be
a source of comfort to those who loved and cherished him, including
his wife, Jessica, and his three children; and
WHEREAS,
Giving freely of his time, energy, and abilities far beyond what was
required or expected, Phil Wagner displayed exceptional civic concern
and insight, and his exemplary efforts will certainly live beyond
him. Indeed, the warmth and understanding he so readily extended to
others will stand as a testament to his personal character, and his
memory will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew him; and
WHEREAS,
At a time when many people are content to take a passive role in
life, law enforcement officers often risk their own safety, and in
fact their lives, to ensure the well-being of their fellow citizens.
The devotion to duty that Phil Wagner showed in all of his endeavors
earned him the genuine respect and gratitude of his colleagues and of
the community he so capably served; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, express a deep sense of loss and
sincere regret at the death of Phillip Corbet Wagner; and be it
further
RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of
this Resolution to the family of Phillip Corbet Wagner.
