A RESOLUTION

Honoring the memory of Wiley T. Nixon and naming the Wiley T. Nixon Capitol Post Office in his honor; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the State of Georgia recently lost one of her most distinguished citizens and public servants with the passing of Wiley T. Nixon; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Nixon began a career of public service at the State Capitol in 1969 as a doorkeeper for the House of Representatives and rose to the position of Postmaster, supervising two post offices at the Capitol that deliver thousands of pieces of mail each day; and

WHEREAS, his devotion to duty was exemplary, his job performance was outstanding, and he was well known and respected for his wisdom and wit; and

WHEREAS, above all else, those who were privileged to know Mr. Nixon will remember him best for his kindness and generosity, as he was a man who loved people and never ceased striving to help others; and

WHEREAS, the General Assembly will be the poorer in his absence but was truly blessed by his presence during his 36 years of public service; and

WHEREAS, it is fitting that Mr. Nixon's contributions to the State of Georgia be recognized with an enduring memorial.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT the Capitol Post Office adjacent to the House Chamber on the third floor of the State Capitol is hereby named the Wiley T. Nixon Capitol Post Office and the Legislative Fiscal Officer is authorized and directed to provide for the placement of an appropriate plaque and signage so designating said facility.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to the family of the late Wiley T. Nixon.
