SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 767
|
| |
| |
|
|
In Memory |
|
|
of |
|
|
Tim Curry |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and |
|
|
commemorates the life of longtime Tarrant County district |
|
|
attorney Tim Curry, who died April 24, 2009, at the age of 70; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Tim Curry was 33 years old when he became Tarrant |
|
|
County's top prosecutor in 1972; born in the small town of Tulia, |
|
|
he graduated from Texas Christian University and Baylor Law |
|
|
School and soon joined his father and brother in their Fort Worth |
|
|
law firm; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, He became involved with politics when trying to |
|
|
find a candidate for the district attorney's office then known |
|
|
for widespread corruption; when his candidate backed out, Mr. |
|
|
Curry accepted the challenge himself, and while he would go on to |
|
|
win every subsequent election, he had a longstanding reputation |
|
|
for his ability to keep politics out of the district attorney's |
|
|
office; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Tim Curry was admired and respected for his legal |
|
|
expertise, his unassuming personality, and his high ethical |
|
|
standards; he won praise for his straightforward and sincere |
|
|
approach in fulfilling the demands of his office; in 2007, he |
|
|
received the Blackstone Award, the Tarrant County Bar |
|
|
Association's highest honor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, He was a devoted husband, father, and son, and he |
|
|
leaves behind memories that will be treasured forever by his |
|
|
family and his many friends; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
|
|
Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved |
|
|
family of Tim Curry: his wife, Jan; his daughter, Beth; his son, |
|
|
Cullen; and his mother, Rae; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas |
|
|
Senate, and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in |
|
|
memory of Tim Curry. |
