SENATE RESOLUTION EXPRESSING CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF DANIEL A. SPAIGHT, JR.

This bill is a ceremonial Senate resolution expressing condolences to the family of Daniel A. Spaight, Jr., a retired East Providence educator and public servant who died in 2025. It formally recognizes his 66-year marriage, career teaching in East Providence schools, service with the Rhode Island Department of Education, and community involvement.
