RESOLUTION" NO. 8506
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA EXTENDING ITS CONDOLENCES ON THE DEATH
OF ROY PRITTIE
WHEREAS, the interval of consciousness between birth and death is filled by us
in myriad ways. Some waste this finite period in a meaningless and
inane maze whose end is the hopeless termination of an empty, frustrating
experience, and
WHEREAS, ROY PRITTIE was one of the happy few whose life was indeed blessed
with meaning and direction; Roy, surrounded by kith and kin, enriched
all our lives by his presence. As a person involved in the workings
of his community, he radiated a rare quality of leadership, imbued with
care, concern and understanding, within a framework of charm and
gentility, and
WHEREAS, evinced by his outstanding service on the City of Azusa Personnel Board
since his appointment in April of Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-five,
a tenure culminating in his appointment as Vice -Chairman; his passage
from our plane to the other side of life, has already created a rift
in our collective elan vital, and gives us pause to consider anew the
pristine words of the Poet, Longfellow, when he penned:
"There is not death! What seems so is
Transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the Life Elysian
Whose portal we call death."
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, collectively
extends its condolences to Roy's loved ones on their loss, a loss which is shared by us
all, because we, also, mourn the passing of a friend and colleague, one who shared the trials
and travails of life with us. However, bear in mind, that something remains for us to
cherish: The indelible record in this City's history that he left to posterity. ROY
PRITTIE, most assuredly, shall not soon be forgotten.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 6th day of September, 1988.
