R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The passing of Bill Golden has greatly saddened all
those who knew him, and we join his family and his many friends in
mourning their loss; and
WHEREAS, A graduate of Sanderson High School, Mr. Golden
earned both his undergraduate degree and his M.B.A. from Sul Ross
University, and he also served in the U.S. Navy as a communications
technician; and
WHEREAS, His talents in the field of telecommunications were
put to good use in his civilian career with Big Bend Telephone
Company, and he received the Texas Telephone Association's award
for outstanding achievement in 1988 and served as president of the
Texas Statewide Telephone Cooperative Association on two separate
occasions; and
WHEREAS, Throughout the years, Mr. Golden drew joy and
inspiration from his relationship with his wife, Robie Golden, and
their daughter, Traci, and from his fellow worshipers at Our Lady of
Peace Catholic Church, where he served as parish council president
for a number of years; and
WHEREAS, A vital and valued member of the community, Mr.
Golden's counsel was often sought by his professional peers, and he
served as a director for both First National Bank and West Texas
National Bank; and
WHEREAS, Although no words can assuage the sadness caused by
the passing of a good friend, husband, and father, those who loved
Bill Golden may take comfort in his lasting legacy of a life well
lived; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas

sincere sympathy to his family: to his wife, Robie Golden; to his
daughter, Traci, and her husband, Alonso Adame; to his mother, Ruby
Golden; and to his siblings, Shirley Townsend and Sammy Golden;
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 Bill
Golden.
