H.R. No. 1009
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life filled with many
joyful times and meaningful accomplishments may temper the profound
sadness felt by the friends and family of James B. Settle of
Littlefield at his passing on June 25, 2004; and
WHEREAS, Born on July 15, 1918, in Cleburne, to James and Mary
Settle, Jimmie Settle was a retired teacher and school
administrator; he held a bachelor's degree in zoology from The
University of Texas and a master's degree in music education from
the University of North Texas and also served in the United States
Army during World War II, working at the Pentagon and Wright Field;
and
WHEREAS, Before moving to Littlefield in 1967, this respected
educator had already distinguished himself as a teacher, band
director, principal, and superintendent for the Baird, Henrietta,
Bryson, Spur, and Amherst school systems; in 1979, he retired from
the Littlefield public schools, where he had served as a school
principal, superintendent, and assistant superintendent; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Settle was a dedicated member of numerous
organizations, including the Texas Principal's Association,
Littlefield Lodge No. 1611, the Littlefield Lions Club, the
Salvation Army, the Littlefield Chamber of Commerce, and
Littlefield First United Methodist Church; in 1994, this valued
resident was named the Citizen Thru the Years by the Littlefield
Chamber of Commerce; and
WHEREAS, Jimmie Settle was an affable, much-loved member of
his community, and he benefited countless students with his
encouragement and generosity; a friend to many, he is dearly missed
by all those who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of James B. Settle and
extend deepest sympathy to the members of his family: to his wife of
64 years, Edith; to his son, Lewis; to his daughter, Koma Sue; to
his grandchildren, Michael, Chris, and Amanda; to his three
great-grandchildren; and to his other relatives and 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 James B.
Settle.
