A RESOLUTION

Commending Professor R. Perry Sentell, Jr.; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Professor R. Perry Sentell, Jr. is recognized routinely and regarded refulgently throughout the State of Georgia as the perpetually preeminent personification of extraordinary excellence in educating esquires; and

WHEREAS, this profoundly preceptive precisionist has served with humble honor and dynamic distinction as a memorable member of the faculty at the University of Georgia School of Law since 1958 and possesses presently the Marion and W. Carter Chair in Tort and Insurance Law; and

WHEREAS, his prodigiously prolific pennings have pierced perspicaciously the verdant veil of ignoble ignorance and ironic inconsistencies which comprise complexly the juridical junctures of inscrutable insurance, telling torts, municipal misadventures, county conundrums, and less than lucid legislation; and

WHEREAS, his soundly significant organizational and leadership talents, his radiantly remarkable patented patience and didactic diplomacy, his keenly kinetic sense of vision, and his superb sensitivity to the needs of his current collection of colleagues in the judiciary, the state bar, and the General Assembly have earned him their resounding respect and ardent admiration; and

WHEREAS, he is a person of multiple magnanimous strengths with an unimpeachably unsmirched reputation for intrepid integrity, insightful intelligence, fundamental fairness, and caring kindness; his lasting loyalty, complete competency, renowned reliability, and euphoric enthusiasm have distinguished distinctly his superlative service to this sovereign state; and his frank friendship is counted cognoscibly by statutory scriveners as an experience evermore they will treasure truly; and

WHEREAS, his rigorously righteous refusal to embrace the mundane or mediocre has emblazoned emphatically the minds and hearts of those who proclaim proudly their elite enrollment in the courageous corps of Sentell Scholars; and

WHEREAS, he has announced his retirement commencing on July 1, 2004, and it abundantly appropriate, fortuitously fitting, and profusely proper to observe overtly that he is, as teacher and mentor, the stuff of legend, but that he is, most importantly of all, the man we call a friend, and we may never, ever, see his like again.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize resoundingly Professor R. Perry Sentell, Jr. for his almost five decades of unparalleled and unexcelled conspicuously committed contributions to the ascendant advancement and quintessential quality of lawyerly learning; concurrently congratulate him upon the outstanding occasion of his resplendent retirement; and extend extensively to him their most heapingly heartfelt well wishes for health and happiness in the future.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Professor R. Perry Sentell, Jr.
