|
have created a tremendous void in families, communities, and |
|

|
|
Windham School District that spanned 25 years; he served as a |
|
|
vocational teacher at the Fabian Dale Dominguez State Jail, where |
|
|
he taught classes in computer aided drafting; in his leisure time, |
|
|
he delighted in playing golf, listening to music, barbecuing, and |
|
|
building model planes; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Sustained by a deep faith, Mr. Rocha considered his |
|
|
wife, Yvette, and his daughters, Cassandra and Crystal, to be his |
|
|
greatest blessings; among his many achievements, he received the |

|
2008-2009 Lane Murray Excellence in Teaching Award from the Windham |
|
|
School District in recognition of his steadfast commitment to his |
|
|
students and to the highest standards of his profession; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Clemente Rocha faithfully and ably performed his |
|
|
duties throughout his tenure with the Texas Department of Criminal |

|
Justice, and he will long be remembered with great admiration by all |
|
|
who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of |
|
|
Clemente Rocha III and extend deepest sympathy to his family, |
