The House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island has introduced a resolution expressing profound condolences on the passing of Hilding T. Munson, who was a dedicated husband, father, and community member. Mr. Munson served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War era and had a long and distinguished career, including roles as a Rhode Island State Correctional Officer and a State Sheriff. He was particularly noted for his 63 years of service with the Snug Harbor Volunteer Fire Department, where he held the position of Captain for twenty years and was currently serving as President. His commitment to community service extended to volunteering with the Special Olympics for over fifty years and participating in local veterans' commemorations.

The resolution highlights Mr. Munson's legacy of hard work, dedication to family, and community involvement, as well as his faith as an active member of Christ the King Church. He is survived by his wife, Judith, their children, and other family members. The House has authorized the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to the Munson family, reflecting the collective sorrow and respect of the Assembly for Mr. Munson's life and contributions.
