A RESOLUTION adjourning the House of Representatives in loving memory and honor of Eugene P. Stuart.
With deepest respect and admiration, we pay homage and tribute to Eugene P. Stuart, our friend and colleague, and we pause in silent reverence for his soul.
WHEREAS, Eugene P. Stuart was born on October 20, 1927, a native of Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, and he traversed these earthly bounds on January 27, 2002; and
WHEREAS, Eugene P. Stuart was the loving son of the late Eugene G. Stuart and Mary Belle Page Stuart, he was the devoted husband of Mary Owen Dannenhold Stuart, and he was the adored father of a son and daughter-in-law, E. Page Stuart and his wife, Melissa Stuart; and
WHEREAS, Eugene P. Stuart graduated from the Kentucky Military Institute and the University of Louisville, after which time he was president of the University of Louisville Associates and a member of the University of Louisville Board of Overseers, and where he was known for his passionate support and dedication to University of Louisville basketball; and
WHEREAS, Eugene P. Stuart was a civic-minded individual and an esteemed member of the Jefferson County community where he was named Young Man of the Year of Louisville and Jefferson County in 1963, he was the previous owner of Stuart Insurance Agency, he was former president of the Louisville Junior Chamber of Commerce, and former director and president of the Louisville Chamber of Commerce; he was past president of the United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Louisville, past president of the Louisville Jaycee Club, past vice president of the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame, and former vice president and founding member of the Louisville Zoological Commission; and he was a former member of the Hunting Creek Country Club, and an avid boater; and
