A RESOLUTION
In memory of James A. Lantz.

       WHEREAS,  The members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of James A. Lantz in their bereavement; and

       WHEREAS,  Although there are no words to ease the sadness now felt, surely there is solace in the remembrance of having been touched by such a remarkable person as James Lantz. The warmth of his personality made a lasting impression on the people whose lives he touched, and the love, compassion, and understanding he gladly extended to those around him will long remain in the hearts and minds of many; and 

       WHEREAS,  James Lantz's zealous love of life and his selfless concern for the welfare of others distinguished him as an outstanding human being and as a leading citizen. After serving as a B-17 pilot with the U.S. Army during World War II, he became an attorney, co-founding the law firm of Lantz, Lantz, and Lipp, and he served four terms in the Ohio House of Representatives, including a stint as speaker. In addition, he was active with such organizations as the Ohio State Bar Association, the Order of Symposiarchs, the American Legion, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Kiwanis International, and First United Methodist Church, and his tremendous efforts serve as an inspiration for others; and

       WHEREAS,  A loyal husband to his wife, Eileen, a devoted father to his three children, Susan, the late James, and the late Charles, a proud grandfather of five grandchildren, Leslie, Jennifer, Andrea, Jamie, and Jamison, and four great-grandchildren, Isabel, Zoe, Corban, and Cryus, and a caring friend to all, James Lantz led an exemplary life, manifesting those virtues we all seek to emulate. Indeed, his generosity, talents, and seemingly inexhaustible energy are a pleasure to recall; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, pay tribute to the memory of a truly honorable man, James A. Lantz; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the family of James A. Lantz.
