SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1009
|
|
|
WHEREAS, It is a distinct pleasure for the Texas Senate to |
|
|
recognize Robert Gomez on his recent retirement after nearly four |
|
|
decades of outstanding service to the state and to the Texas |
|
|
Senate; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, When Bobby Gomez retired on the last day of 2012, |
|
|
he had been an employee of the Senate for 38 years and seven |
|
|
months; a highly respected staff member and department director, |
|
|
he was noted for his professional skill and unflagging dedication |
|
|
as well as for his lengthy service; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Bobby retired as the director of Publications and |
|
|
Printing, the department that assists Senate offices with the |
|
|
design, layout, and printing of all manner of documents and |
|
|
publications; as head of the department, Bobby worked with each |
|
|
office to ensure that their particular needs were met and that |
|
|
the Senate's high standards and august image were upheld; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Bobby came from a generation that utilized |
|
|
paste-ups and mat knives, yet when the Publications and Printing |
|
|
office started using computers and other modern printing |
|
|
techniques and tools, he made the transition with his usual |
|
|
finesse; throughout his service as director, he was known for his |
|
|
discerning eye and his appreciation of good design, both of which |
|
|
were evident in all of his productions; he was also noted for |
|
|
keeping his print shop in a state of impeccable order and |
|
|
cleanliness; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Though Bobby was the director of the department, |
|
|
his co-workers thought of him as a collaborator and a friend, one |
|
|
who inquired about their well-being and that of their loved ones |
|
|
and who was always ready to offer a sympathetic ear; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Bobby is known for his devotion to his large and |
|
|
loving family and for his generosity to them; he is an |
|
|
exceedingly proud father and grandfather who relishes spending |
|
|
time with family members and witnessing their accomplishments; |
|
|
and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, For nearly four decades, Bobby Gomez was an |
|
|
exemplary civil servant who excelled in his work, was kind to his |
|
|
colleagues, and was faithful to the institution of the Texas |
|
|
Senate, and his presence in the Publications and Printing office |
|
|
is greatly missed; it is truly fitting that he be honored for all |
|
|
that he has done; now, therefore, be it |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
|
83rd Legislature, hereby honor Robert Gomez on his distinguished |
|
|
career of over 38 years of service to the Senate and extend to him |
|
|
sincerest wishes for many joyous years of retirement; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
him as an expression of highest esteem from the Texas Senate. |
