When such comes suddenly as in the accidental death of Henry M. de Noble, we are both humbled and shocked into a state of bewilderment until we can remind ourselves that man alone does not control his destiny; and, WHEREAS, "Hank" as he was affectionately known, filled-his short life with meaningful and worthwhile actions and accomplishments. He trained himself for his chosen career and kept abreast of the modern advancements in this field. He would fight for his conviction but with fairness and humility, and his training knowledge and progressive ideas accomplished many lasting improvements in this community; and, WHEREAS, in the business world, among his friends and with his family, his life epitomized those principles which are ever present in the mind of man, dedicating his life to others with loyalty, respect and love; and WHEREAS, he lived as though his life would never end, he accepted the knowledge that such might not be the case, and by his energies and natural drive, filled each day with such accomplishments that when his time came the total of his achievements were all that any man could hope for; and, WHEREAS, his public service to the people of this community has made a most worthwhile and lasting contribution to the public peace, health and safety and thus progress, for all of which and for the privilege of sharing his life we give our humble thanks. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: SECTION 1. May the annals of history record that Henry M. de Noble, in his short but full life, inspired all with his ambitious and dedicated life to laudable purposes. We are beneficiaries of this legacy of unlimited worth which doubtless will be meaningful in the lives of each of us. SECTION 2. We are saddened with his passing, and offer to the family of this fine man condolence in their bereavement. SECTION 3. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption.
