While in office, Biden 11 established a child predator task force, fought against bullying 12 and created a family division to help children, in addition to 13 clamping down on child sex crimes perpetrators.

But for all that Beau 9 Biden achieved, nothing made him prouder; nothing made him 10 happier; nothing claimed a fuller focus of his love and devotion 11 than his family. Just like his dad." Quoting the poet Yeats, the 12 President said, "Beau Biden believed the best of us all. For 13 him, and for his family, we swing our lanterns higher"; and 14 WHEREAS, The Vice President issued his final official 15 statement on the passing of his eldest son stating, "His 16 absolute honor made him a role model for our family. Beau 17 embodied my father's saying that a parent knows success when his 18 child turns out better than he did"; therefore be it 19 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 20 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania mourn the loss of Beau Biden and 21 express condolences to his father, Vice President Joe Biden, his 22 stepmother, Dr. Jill Biden, his wife, Hallie Biden, his 23 children, Hunter and Natalie Biden, and his siblings Hunter and 24 Ashley Biden; and be it further 25 RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to 26 the Biden family as an expression of condolence for their loss 27 and as a token of appreciation for Beau Biden who, in the words 28 of his family was "quite simply the finest man any of us have 29 ever known." 20150HR0384PN1746 - 2 - .

  • Office of the New Castle County Executive
    TRIBUTE Office of the County Executive of New Castle County Be it hereby known to all that The Honorable Thomas P. Gordon, New Castle County Executive is pleased to present this tribute to honor The Honorable Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III It is with great sorrow that County Executive Gordon recognizes the life of service and duty to God, family, and country by the late and Honorable Joseph Robinette “Beau” Biden III, who left this Earth on Saturday, May 30, 2015, at the young age of 46. The County Executive extends his deepest condolences to the Biden family, notably his friend, Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., and he prays that God blesses this family with all that is needed in this incredible time of grief. The Honorable Beau Biden served the State of Delaware well for eight years as Attorney General, in whose office he fought for children, the less fortunate, and against powerful, malicious forces that dared to commit crimes against humanity in the State of Delaware. Beau, as he was affectionately known, also served honorably as a Major in the United States Army’s Delaware Army National Guard and served America in the Iraq War from 2008 to 2009. In the indelible words of President Lincoln, Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III was truly a man “of the people, by the people, for the people”, and all of the Diamond State will miss the closest thing to a prince that Delaware has ever had. Presented on this 5th day of June, 2015, by order of the County Executive ________________________________ Thomas P.
