15 his wife, Rosanne, sharing with her his love for Jesus, the
16 family, and laughter; and
17 WHEREAS, Mr. Gartner will be deeply missed by all those
18 who knew him and loved him, especially his wife, Rosanne; his
19 children, Bill Gartner, Janet (Rick) Levy, Steve (Marlene)
20 Gartner, and Kurt (Susan) Gartner; his grandchildren, Kelly
21 (Diana) Kinsland, Kathy Grissom, Kayla (Nick) Martinec, Eric
22 Levy, Melissa (Eric M.) Laabs, and Nathan, Rachel, Jacob, and

25 be it
26 RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL
27 ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we mourn, along with
28 all those who knew him and loved him, the passing of Louis R.
29 Gartner; and be it further
