The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership, offered the following resolution:
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Lawrence B. Lindemer, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas, The members of this legislative body were saddened to hear of the passing of Lawrence "Larry" Lindemer. With his sharp mind and legal acumen, he diligently represented his constituents in Ingham County during his two years of service in the House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Lawrence Lindemer was born in Syracuse, New York, later settling in Stockbridge, Michigan, which he would call home for decades. He received undergraduate and legal degrees from the University of Michigan in preparation for his future legal career. In between earning those degrees, he served his country as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. He worked as an assistant prosecuting attorney for Ingham County in 1949 and 1950, the year of his election to the House of Representatives; and
Whereas, From 1951 to 1952, Lawrence Lindemer served in this legislative body as the representative for the then Second District of Ingham County. His intellect and talents were put to good use, as he worked on a wide array of policy issues as a member of the Educational Institutions, Geological Survey, Judiciary, Juvenile Corrections, Retirement, and Revision and Amendment of the Constitution standing committees; and
Whereas, Lawrence Lindemer continued his eminently distinguished career after his time in the Legislature. He served on the Hoover Commission to recommend administrative changes in the federal government in the early to mid-1950s. Upon leaving Washington, D.C., and returning to Michigan, his accomplishments progressed back home. Michigan Supreme Court Justice, University of Michigan Regent, and Republican State Central Committee chair are among the many esteemed positions he held. He also built a storied career as an attorney; and
Whereas, A giant in the fields of law, politics, and public service, Lawrence Lindemer is an illustrious representative of the Legislature and the state. His family can take great pride in his contributions and achievements; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Lawrence B. Lindemer, a member of this legislative body from 1951 to 1952; and be it further
