R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The passing of Joe Hashop of Corsicana on July 1, 
2005, at the age of 89, brought a great loss to the family and 
friends of this beloved gentleman, and it is fitting to honor him at 
this time; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Houston on December 3, 1915, Mr. Hashop 
shared many happy times with his close-knit family during his 
youth; he graduated from Corsicana High School in 1933 and worked 
with his father and older brother at Hashop's Drug as a young man; 
and
	WHEREAS, A World War II veteran, Mr. Hashop served in the U.S. 
Army Air Corps as a bombardier and saw action on the western front 
in Germany; he remained in the Army Reserve after his discharge, 
retiring as a lieutenant colonel; and
	WHEREAS, Beloved by his family, "Uncle Joe" was an avid 
outdoorsman and aeronautical enthusiast with a passion for hunting, 
fishing, and flying; he was also a skilled and dedicated farmer, 
sharing the care of his farm on Corbet slab for many years with Alan 
Thedford, his close friend; and
	WHEREAS, A 32nd degree Mason in Corsicana Masonic Lodge No. 
174, Mr. Hashop was a longtime member of First United Methodist 
Church and was a director of City National Bank; and
	WHEREAS, Joe Hashop was a man of great generosity and 
kindness, and although his loss has left a void in the lives of 
those who knew and loved him, his spirit will live on in their 
hearts for years to come as they remember him fondly and often; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas

and nephews, Rebecca Stephenson, Katheryn Brader, Bill Hashop, Sara

his lifelong friend and companion, Ruth Scott; and to the many other 
relatives and friends of this esteemed Texan; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of 
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Joe Hashop.
