R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may 
temper the profound sadness that the passing of Thurman F. Watson of 
Baytown on November 26, 2004, at the age of 69, brings to all who 
loved him; and
	WHEREAS, With his trademark affable nature and affection for 
the Texas A&M Aggies, Mr. Watson was a well-known and 
much-respected member of the Baytown community; and
	WHEREAS, He served the children of the Goose Creek 
Consolidated Independent School District as a tennis coach for many 
years and enjoyed membership in the Baytown Kiwanis Club and the REL 
Key Club, an adjunct of Kiwanis; and
	WHEREAS, Thurman Watson is widely missed by family and 
friends, but his memory lives on in their hearts and in the 
positive, lasting influence he had on his students and throughout 
the community he served; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor the memory of Thurman F. Watson and extend 
sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his wife, Syble 
Watson; to his daughter, Terrie Duke and her husband, Stewart; to 
his son, Allen Watson and his wife, Patty; to his grandchildren, 
Wade Hampton and Grant Thurman; 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 Thurman 
Watson.
