|
WHEREAS, A full and productive life drew to a close with the |
|
|
death of Irving Braslau of Corpus Christi on May 2, 2015, at the age |
|
|
of 85; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in Yorktown on October 1, 1929, to Morris and |
|
|
Annie Braslau, Irving Braslau was a lifelong Texan; he answered his |
|
|
nation's call to duty as a member of the United States Army as a |
|
|
young man, and after returning to civilian life, he married the love |
|
|
of his life, the former Marilyn Goodman, in 1957; the Braslaus |
|
|
shared nearly six decades together until her passing, and over the |
|
|
years, they became the parents of four children, Pamela, Robin, |
|
|
Blake, and Tracy, and their treasured family later grew to include |
|
|
two additional generations; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Braslau was a successful entrepreneur who |
|
|
enjoyed a fulfilling career as the owner of Braslau's Furniture; in |
|
|
addition, his keen knowledge of the stock market allowed him to |
|
|
identify nearly any ticker symbol from memory and to share valuable |
|
|
stock tips with others; in his leisure time, he delighted in |
|
|
reading, watching movies, and spending time outdoors hunting and |
|
|
fishing, and he was a longtime member of Congregation Beth Israel; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Those fortunate enough to have known Irving Braslau |
|
|
will fondly remember him for his generosity, his warmth, and his |
|
|
wonderful sense of humor, and he will forever hold a treasured place |
|
|
in their hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Irving Braslau and |
|
|
extend sincere condolences to the members of his family: to his |
|
|
children, Pamela Zane and her husband, Randall, Robin Davis and her |
|
|
husband, Jordan, and Blake Braslau and his wife, Monica; to his |
|
|
grandchildren, Andrea Zane Feinman and her husband, Blake, Stacy |
|
|
Zane, Todd Davis and his wife, Mali, Amy and Eric Davis, and Grant, |
|
|
Caroline, and Natalie Braslau; to his great-grandchildren, Zane |
|
|
Phillip Feinman and Max Nathan Davis; and to his other relatives and |
|
|
many 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 Irving |
|
|
Braslau. |
