A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

 

on the death of Leonard "Len" Jackson.

 

 

(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)

 

Leonard W. “Len” Jackson, Jr. passed away on March 6, 2000 at the age of seventy.

Born in Webb City, Missouri, Len moved to Glendale, Arizona in 1939. He graduated from Glendale High School and Phoenix College and served his country admirably as a member of the United States Air Force, Strategic Air Command.  A small businessman, Rotarian, investor and patent holder, he was also an active member of North Phoenix Baptist Church.  Len was an avid pilot who was training as a helicopter pilot at the time of his death.

For more than two decades, Len Jackson ably served the Arizona Legislature by overseeing the smooth operation and maintenance of the Capitol complex buildings.  Beginning as a security officer with the Senate in 1977, he moved to the Legislative Council in 1981 as the building manager, a capacity in which he managed the buildings that house the Legislative Council, the Department of Library, Archives and Public Records, the Senate and the House of Representatives.

No problem was too big for Len to tackle, and his "behind the scenes" efforts to avoid potential problems before they occurred kept the buildings and grounds in prime shape for legislative employees as well as the Capitol's many tourists.  In all of his efforts, Len gave freely of his energy and abilities and was known by his countless friends at the Legislature as a dedicated, warmhearted and capable individual.

Devoted to his family, Len Jackson will be greatly missed by his wife, Elaine, his daughter, Lisa, his son, Louis and his three grandchildren.

Therefore

Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Arizona, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the Members of the Legislature express sincere regret at the passing of their friend, Len Jackson, and extend their deepest sympathies to his family and many friends.
