at the age of 56; and |

|
|

|
|
while in high school, and he went on to earn his undergraduate degree |

|
|
patients to lawmakers; and |
|

|
|
ended far too soon, he will always be remembered with great |
|
|
tenderness and affection by all those who had the good fortune to |
|
|
know him; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
