R E S O L U T I O N

and
WHEREAS, Throughout his career, Kevin Kulow established a
record of meritorious action that is consistent with the highest

legacy of selflessness and bravery that he leaves behind will not
soon be forgotten; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas

and extend deepest sympathy to the members of his family: to his
