Clifford Ray Miller, death mourned

SJR 39 is a ceremonial resolution mourning the death of Clifford Ray Miller, a Talladega, Alabama community leader who passed away at age 90. The resolution celebrates his life and legacy, highlighting his 30-year leadership at Alabama Industries for the Blind (which tripled its workforce), decades of service on local boards, and dedication to organizations like the Lions Club and Meals on Wheels. It does not create new laws or policies; it is a non-binding tribute offered by the Alabama legislature to honor Miller’s contributions and extend condolences to his family.
