  H.C.R. No. 79
 
 
 
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, The death of Bishop Rhymes H. Moncure, Jr., on
  August 19, 2006, has brought great sadness to his many friends and
  admirers; and
         WHEREAS, Bishop Moncure reached people's hearts through his
  warm manner and generosity of spirit; he preferred hugging to
  shaking hands, made time to visit people in crisis, and began a
  ritual of washing the feet of new pastors during ordination
  services; and
         WHEREAS, Born in Oakland, California, Bishop Moncure
  received advanced degrees in ministry and spent 32 years as a parish
  pastor before his election as bishop in 2000; he first served in
  that role in Nebraska, before heading the 160,000-member North
  Texas Conference, which included supervising 325 congregations;
  and
         WHEREAS, In addition to his church responsibilities, this
  notable leader was a Southern Methodist University trustee and a
  director of the United Methodist Church Board of Global Ministries,
  in which capacity he chaired the Africa, Europe, and Middle East
  Section; and
         WHEREAS, Bishop Moncure has left behind an immeasurable
  legacy of service to others, and his memory will long inspire those
  who shared in his love and friendship; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby pay tribute to the life of Bishop Rhymes H. Moncure, Jr., and
  extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his wife,
  Jewell Moncure; to his children, Roxanne Moncure and Jason Moncure;
  to his brother, Robert Moncure; to his two grandsons; 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 and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in memory of
  Bishop Rhymes H. Moncure, Jr.
