The Rhode Island Senate has introduced a resolution, SR 2191, expressing deep condolences on the passing of Francis D. Landry, Jr., a lifelong resident of Newport and dedicated family man. Born in 1952 in Norwich, Connecticut, Mr. Landry served as a water treatment plant operator for the City of Newport for thirty years, often working up to ninety hours a week. He also had a career as an automotive salesman and was a strong advocate for workers' rights, serving as the President of his Union and contributing to the Newport Housing Authority. Mr. Landry was known for his passion for sports and his deep faith.

The resolution acknowledges Mr. Landry's legacy and the significant impact he had on his family and community. He is survived by his daughters, Meagan and Gretchen, as well as his siblings and extended family. The Senate resolution not only expresses condolences but also directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to his daughters, ensuring that his contributions and memory are honored.

Introduced by Senator Dawn M. Euer on January 21, the resolution has been placed on the Senate Consent Calendar.
