The House of Representatives of Louisiana expresses its heartfelt condolences on the passing of William Henry D'Aquilla, who died on April 12. D'Aquilla was a dedicated public servant in St. Francisville, having served as town alderman and mayor pro tempore starting in 1972, and later as mayor from 1984 until his retirement in 2020. His nearly five decades of service were marked by a commitment to community advocacy and a deep appreciation for the voices of his constituents. In addition to his political career, he was a local business owner and worked in sales, contributing to the town's growth and development.

The resolution honors D'Aquilla's legacy of love, generosity, and service, which will be remembered by his family and the community he served. He is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a brother, all of whom will cherish their memories of him. The House of Representatives hopes that his loved ones find comfort in these shared memories during this difficult time.
