he has received many state and national awards; and

WHEREAS,
Bob Hinkle is, indeed, a remarkable individual, combining civic
concern with selfless initiative to become a dynamic leader in the
State of Ohio. Always sincere and energetic, he has given generously
of his time and abilities far beyond what was required or expected
and has displayed a genuine commitment to improving the quality of
life in our society; and

WHEREAS,
The enthusiasm and expertise Bob Hinkle has shown in his endeavors
have earned him the respect of all those with whom he has been
associated. As he retires, he has the satisfaction of knowing that he
has provided a valuable service to our state and has established a
record of personal and professional achievement that will stand as a
hallmark for others to emulate; therefore be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate Bob Hinkle on his
retirement and salute him as one of Ohio’s finest citizens; and be
it further
