  1- 3  WHEREAS, Joseph P. "Joey" Crawford, a Savannah resident, was

  1- 6  all his actions; and 
 
  1- 7  WHEREAS, on February 2, 1999, Mr. Crawford passed away from 
  1- 8  complications from heart surgery at the tragically young age

  1-10  and sent messages of support; and 
 
  1-11  WHEREAS, Joey Crawford will be remembered for his friendly

  1-16  remembered for the depth of his altruism; and

  1-20  WHEREAS, as busy as he was in his volunteerism and in his

  1-23  energy to be an active and devoted father to his son Cole as 
  1-24  well as a wonderful husband to his wife Pam; and 
 
  1-25  WHEREAS, Savannah and indeed all of Georgia is diminished by 
  1-26  the loss of this great advocate and family man, and it is 
  1-27  only fitting and proper that his accomplishments and warm 
  1-28  spirit be honored and remembered by all the citizens of
