	R E S O L U T I O N

	2007, with the passing of noted Del Rio civic leader Jack L.
	Richardson; and
	WHEREAS, Born in 1929 in Wichita, Kansas, Mr. Richardson
	joined the U.S. Army at the age of 17 and served his country as an
	anti-aircraft gun crewman, classification specialist, and
	cryptograph technician; and
	WHEREAS, This distinguished gentleman led a life of
	exceptional service to his country, state, and community; following
	his departure from the army, he worked with Boeing Aircraft before
	joining the U.S. Border Patrol in Del Rio in 1953; his 31-year
	tenure with the agency would take him from Texas to Michigan to
	California and back to the Lone Star State in 1965; he eventually
	settled in Del Rio and was promoted to the position of chief patrol
	agent; and
	WHEREAS, Following his retirement from the Border Patrol, Mr.
	Richardson continued to give of his time and talents to the
	betterment of his community; as the director of Del Rio
	International Airport, he was highly instrumental in securing
	financial support for its expansion and for the improvement of its
	services; in addition, his work as a grant writer for the City of
	Del Rio enabled the acquisition of funding for numerous beneficial
	projects, including a new fire station and a baseball and soccer
	complex; and
	WHEREAS, Known for his wit, tenacity, and professionalism,
	Jack Richardson built a life that was remarkably rich in
	accomplishments and meaningful service to others; although he will
	be deeply missed, he will always be remembered with the greatest
	respect and admiration; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Jack L. Richardson and
	extend sympathy to the members of his family: to his wife of 58
	years, Helen Louise Richardson; to his daughters, Mary Rene
	Richardson and Leigh Ann Lindsey and her husband, Dr. Terry M.
	Lindsey; to his grandchildren, Jackson, T. Houston, Austin,
	Laramie, and Clovis Lindsey, Sarah Angol, and Raegen Mundy; to his
	sister, Casey Marlnee; to his five 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 Jack
	Richardson.
