R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Those Texans who give freely of their time and
talents to benefit the larger community make the world a better
place through their actions and their example, and Joe V. Boerner,
Jr., of Lubbock is one such person; and
WHEREAS, A native of San Antonio, Mr. Boerner moved to
Lubbock after earning his law degree from The University of Texas at
Austin in 1958, and since that time he has distinguished himself as
a leader in the community; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Boerner made his reputation as a partner at the
firm of Crenshaw, Dupree & Milam before forming his own law firm,
Boerner & Dennis, in 1993; and
WHEREAS, Highly esteemed by his professional peers, Mr.
Boerner is a former director of both the Lubbock County Junior Bar
Association and the Lubbock County Senior Bar Association and has
served on the State Bar of Texas Forms Committee; and
WHEREAS, His intelligence and integrity have made him much
sought after as an advisor to organizations and institutions, and
he has served as director of the Lubbock Club, the Lubbock Urban
Renewal Commission, and the South Plains Guidance Center, as a
trustee of the Lubbock Regional Mental Health & Mental Retardation
Center, and as a member of the Lubbock State School Public
Responsibility Committee; and
WHEREAS, A charter member of the Associated Republicans of
Texas, he is well known for his active interest in political life,
and he was voted the Outstanding Republican of Lubbock County in
1985; and
WHEREAS, His love of young people finds expression in both
his civic activities, such as his past directorship of Lubbock
Little League and Pony League, and his close relationship with his
seven grandchildren, who over the years have taken great delight in
their grandfather's signature "Black Buzzard" stories; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Boerner takes pride and pleasure in his family,
especially in Linda, his loving wife of 25 years, and in his
children, Rebecca Jones, Joseph Victor Boerner III, and John
Gregory Boerner; and
WHEREAS, Though it is impossible to gauge the full effect of a
man's life, some individuals leave their unmistakable mark on the
world as they move through it, and Joe Boerner's contributions to
his community continue to resonate in the lives of all who know him;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Joe V. Boerner, Jr., for his many efforts
in behalf of his fellow Texans; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Boerner as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
