WHEREAS, Dr. David Murley of Winnsboro retired in March 2013, |
|
|
drawing to a close an exceptional career in medicine that spanned |
|
|
more than half a century; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of schoolteachers, David Murley was raised |
|
|
in West Texas and graduated from medical school at the University of |
|
|
Tennessee in Memphis; he and his brother, Warren, opened their |
|
|
practice in Winnsboro in 1961; as a young physician, Dr. Murley |
|
|
delivered hundreds of babies, and although his days were always |
|
|
busy, he never hesitated to answer the numerous emergency calls |
|
|
that came in the middle of the night; he continued to serve his many |
|
|
patients with enormous dedication through the years, and in 2009, |
|
|
he was honored by his alma mater as the only member of the class of |
|
|
1959 still practicing medicine; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Benefiting the wider community, Dr. Murley served on |
|
|
the airport and school boards alongside his brother, and in 1985, |
|
|
they were named Men of the Year by the Winnsboro Area Chamber of |
|
|
Commerce; this multifaceted Texan also found time to maintain his |
|
|
licenses as a pilot and aircraft technician, and he owned a shop at |
|
|
the airport; in addition, he demonstrated a knack for automotive |
|
|
repair by keeping a vintage Mercedes on the road; in all his |
|
|
endeavors, he has enjoyed the love and support of his wife, Lou, and |
|
|
their four sons; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The residents of Winnsboro are indeed fortunate to |
|
|
have been served for so long by such a skillful and compassionate |
|
|
physician, and as Dr. Murley begins the next exciting chapter of his |
|
|
life, he may indeed reflect with pride on his many contributions; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Dr. David Murley on his retirement |
|
|
and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, |
|
|
be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Dr. Murley as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
