WHEREAS Robert Luther served with diligence and enthusiasm on the committees on Constitutional Review and Statutory Recodification, Judiciary, and Election Law where his chairs praised him with “he was a thoughtful and loyal member of the Judiciary committee, at a time when his health was not the best he never complained and went to great lengths to honor what he believed to be his responsibility to his constituents and the House,” and “he was always dependable, helpful, and easy to work with;” and
WHEREAS as a United States Navy veteran, a police officer in Gilford and Laconia, and a security officer at Lakes Region General Hospital, Robert Luther embodied the notion of protecting his country, community and those who needed medical assistance; and
