CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may 
temper the profound sadness that the passing of Grady W. Elmore of 
Paris on June 22, 2005, at the age of 77, brings to all who knew this 
distinguished gentleman; and
	WHEREAS, Born on June 16, 1928, in Crowder Springs, Oklahoma, 
Mr. Elmore grew up in Boswell, Oklahoma, and married  the former 
Joan Dancer, in DeQueen, Arkansas, in 1951; he served with 
distinction in the Korean War and retired from the U.S. Army; and
	WHEREAS, Since moving to Paris in 1969, Mr. Elmore played an 
active role in his community as a member of East Paris Baptist 
Church, the Elks Lodge, and the Masonic Lodge, where he became a 
32nd Degree Mason; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Elmore enjoyed going to the local coffee shop 
and reading western magazines, attending rodeos, and visiting with 
his family and friends, and he will be fondly remembered for his 
sense of humor and kindness; and
	WHEREAS, Although Grady Elmore will be deeply missed, his 
spirit will live on in the hearts of those individuals who were 
fortunate enough to have known him; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 79th Legislature of the State of Texas,

Bryan, Terra, Tasha, Brandon, Brittany, and Blair; to his 
great-grandchildren, Alex, Kenyatta, and Riley; and to his other 
relatives and friends; and, be it further
