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.
