talents to countless civic and charitable endeavors and has always given

grandmother; he moved in with her to give her company and take  care  of
her,  he  even  made  improvements to her house to make her life easier;
that compassion stayed with him his whole  life  and  today,  he  is  83

and

  WHEREAS, Henry Lutz is described by his peers as a compassionate and
caring person who never complains, and has an "I can  do"  attitude;  he
takes  the  initiative of getting things done without hesitation, and is

generous  and  compassionate  man  truly  believes  the world needs more
people helping others, and he has lived his life accordingly,  dedicated
to others; and


  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that when
individuals of such noble aims and accomplishments are  brought  to  our
attention,  they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens
