Celebrating the life of Bishop John H. Colander.
Senate Resolution 647 honors the memory of Bishop John H. Colander, a respected spiritual leader and former postal worker who passed away in June 2024. The resolution formally acknowledges his service as a U.S. Army veteran, his long career in ministry, and his contributions to his family and community. It directs the Senate Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution to present to Colander's family as a gesture of respect from the Senate of Virginia. This bill does not create new laws or change policies but serves as a commemorative tribute to his life.
