R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The family and friends of Roman Rodriguez of
Jourdanton were deeply saddened by the passing of this lifelong
Atascosa County resident on July 2, 2004, at the age of 94; and
WHEREAS, Born in Charlotte on August 9, 1909, Mr. Rodriguez
married Carolina Cruz in 1931, and the couple moved to a property
near what is now Pleasanton Airport, where they farmed until 1948;
Mr. Rodriguez then moved his family to Jourdanton and worked for the
American Legion Service Station before taking a position with the
City of Jourdanton in the water and maintenance department; he
later worked for Atascosa County, where he remained until his
retirement; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Rodriguez and his wife shared an enduring union
that was blessed with two daughters and a son, and they welcomed
each new addition to their extended family with great joy and pride;
many of Mr. Rodriguez's happiest moments involved spending time
with his family, barbecuing with his son, and delighting friends
and neighbors with his many entertaining and enlightening stories
about Jourdanton's history; and
WHEREAS, Although this devoted family man is profoundly
missed, his spirit lives on in the hearts of all those who were
privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Roman Rodriguez and
extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his
daughters, Esther Noriega, and her husband, Jesse, and Frances
Rodriguez; to his son, Eliseo Rodriguez, and his wife, Melinda; to
his sister, Consuelo Hernandez; to his nine grandchildren, 16
great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren; and to
his other relatives and friends; 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 Roman
Rodriguez.
