The House of Representatives expresses profound sorrow over the passing of Anthony V. Arico, a dedicated public servant and beloved family man. He is remembered as the husband of Joan G. Arico and father to Janice Rosa, Laureen Lewis, and Rhode Island Legislative employee Anthony P. Arico. A graduate of Barrington High School and a former pole vaulter, Mr. Arico served honorably in the United States Air Force and had a distinguished thirty-year career as the Deputy Director of the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation. He was also actively involved in local governance, serving on various boards and committees, and played a significant role in changing the political landscape of Barrington.

In addition to his professional achievements, Mr. Arico is survived by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as his brother and extended family. The resolution concludes with the House of Representatives extending its deepest condolences to the Arico family and authorizing the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to them.
