                                                                  H.R. No. 592



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A 100th birthday is truly cause for celebration, and 
on March 5, 2005, Eusebio Perez of Dallas is marking this 
significant milestone in his life among his family and many 
admirers; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Perez has witnessed many changes and marvels 
since his birth in 1905 in Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico; he moved 
to the United States at the age of 17 and worked for the railroads in 
Mart, Texas, and Chicago before making Dallas his permanent home in 
1928; this brave and adventurous young man came to America with no 
knowledge of its language, culture, or customs and made a life for 
himself here; more than 75 years later, shortly before 
commemorating his 94th birthday, he realized his longtime dream of 
becoming a United States citizen; and
	WHEREAS, A devoted family man, he married Maria Zavala on 
February 11, 1926, and became the father of 10 children, Melesio, 
Eugene, Eusebio, Edmund, Delfino, Serapio, Elvira, Leonor, Sophia, 
and Hortensia; over the years, he has shared his love and wisdom 
with 26 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and nine 
great-great-grandchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Perez has worked hard over the decades to 
support his large family, migrating north for farm work every 
summer and holding 20-year-long tenures with both the Lone Star 
Cement Company and the Streets and Sanitation Department of the 
City of Dallas before his retirement in 1979; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout his life, Eusebio Perez has earned the 
respect and admiration of all who know him; a valued member of his 
community, Mr. Perez has always led by example, providing his loved 
ones with a happy and secure home, while sharing with them many 
important life lessons, and he may indeed reflect with pride on a 
life well lived; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor Eusebio Perez on his 100th birthday and 
extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be 
it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Perez as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.

                                                                          Alonzo

	I certify that H.R. No. 592 was adopted by the House on March 
2, 2005, by a non-record vote.
