Memorials, Death - Victor Joseph Ankar -

HJR 738 is a Tennessee House Joint Resolution honoring Victor Joseph Ankar, a Chattanooga resident and Palestinian immigrant who founded Ankar's Billiards in 1973. The resolution recognizes his life of community service, generosity (including sharing homegrown figs), and dedication to his family, while extending condolences to his surviving four children, six grandchildren, and community. It serves as a symbolic tribute without creating any new law or policy, reflecting the General Assembly's appreciation for his contributions to Chattanooga.
