The House concurrent resolution No. R-64 honors the memory of former Representative Curt McCormack of Burlington, who passed away on September 16, 2024, at the age of 72. McCormack was a dedicated environmental advocate and a licensed electrician who served in the Vermont General Assembly, first elected in 1982 as a representative from Rutland City. He was known for his leadership in environmental policy, including efforts to limit chlorofluorocarbon use and promote sustainable transportation options. After a period as the Vermont Bicycle-Pedestrian Coordinator, he returned to the legislature in 2012, representing Burlington and chairing the House Committee on Transportation, where he continued to champion initiatives for human-powered transportation.
The resolution expresses the General Assembly's condolences to McCormack's family, which includes his partner, children, grandchildren, and siblings, notably former Senator Richard McCormack. It also acknowledges his diverse interests and contributions beyond politics, such as his work with the Peace Corps, his passion for cycling, painting, and music. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send a copy to McCormack's family, ensuring that his legacy and impact on Vermont's environmental and transportation policies are remembered.
