R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, The family members and many friends of Clifford Roy 

Doering were greatly saddened by his passing on January 25, 2005, 

and we join them in mourning their loss; and

	WHEREAS, A native Chicagoan, Mr. Doering attended 

Northwestern University, and he served with distinction in the U.S. 

Navy as a landing craft operator in the Pacific theater of 

operations during World War II; and

	WHEREAS, On his return to Chicago, he worked with the 

Manhattan Project before embarking on his career in the aircraft 

and aerospace industries; and

	WHEREAS, In his capacity as a storage and scheduling 

specialist, Mr. Doering was responsible for many of the complex 

technical tasks that would later come to be accomplished by 

computers, and he brought his characteristic intelligence and 

diligence to this demanding work; and

	WHEREAS, After his retirement from the aeronautics industry, 

Mr. Doering and his wife, La Marilys, started their own janitorial 

business, which they ran together for six years; and

	WHEREAS, Throughout their marriage, Mr. Doering enjoyed the 

love and support from his wife, as well as from his two daughters 

and five grandchildren, and while he is sorely missed by his family,

they may take comfort in the knowledge that his unique and 

irreplaceable spirit will continue to burn on brightly in the 

hearts of all those who knew him; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 

Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 

Clifford Roy Doering and extend sincere sympathy to his family and 

many friends; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 

prepared for the members of his family and that when the Texas House 

of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Clifford 

Roy Doering.
