H.R. No. 178



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may 
temper the profound sadness brought by the passing of Robert G. 
Lynch on December 26, 2004; and
	WHEREAS, A respected and distinguished educator, Mr. Lynch 
became the founding dean of the graduate school of management at the 
University of Dallas in 1966, a post he held until 1979 when he was 
named vice president of administration; he began a 20-year term 
teaching management in 1981, after which he briefly served as 
interim dean of the graduate school of management; in 2002, Mr. 
Lynch was named interim dean of the college of business at its 
founding; and
	WHEREAS, This esteemed leader possessed a sincere and lasting 
concern for the welfare of his students and demonstrated his love of 
education through his volunteerism with the Irving Public Library 
system, serving two terms as treasurer of the Friends of the 
Library; and
	WHEREAS, Although his presence will be profoundly missed by 
his family, friends, and the many beneficiaries of his service, Mr. 
Lynch will not soon be forgotten, for he has left a remarkable 
legacy that will continue to positively influence young Texans for 
generations to come; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Robert G. Lynch and 
extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family:  to his wife, 
Lesta Lynch; to his two sons, Jeffery Lynch and Randall Lynch; to 
his daughter, Penny Sue Hayter; to his three grandchildren; and to 
his other relatives and many 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 Robert G. 
Lynch.

                                                                    Harper-Brown
