WHEREAS, Hausman Foods in Corpus Christi has long |
|
|
distinguished itself through its significant contributions to the |
|
|
local community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This notable Texas company was founded in 1939 by |
|
|
Sam Hausman; what began as a small family enterprise of four |
|
|
employees, including Mr. Hausman's wife, Fannie, has since grown to |
|
|
include a staff of some 120 workers across three local processing |
|
|
facilities, and today the award-winning business provides a wide |
|
|
range of meat products to customers around the globe; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After the passing of Mr. Hausman in 1958, |
|
|
his son-in-law David Holliday assumed control of the business, and |
|
|
in the late 1960s, he in turn handed over the reins to his sons Rick |
|
|
and Steve, who served as president and vice president, |
|
|
respectively, until retiring in 2005; the company has since |
|
|
benefited from the able leadership of the |
|
|
founder's great-grandchildren Amy Seward and Jerry Simpson; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses play a vital |
|
|
role in the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and those enterprises |
|
|
that build a record of dependability and longevity enjoy a special |
|
|
degree of esteem in their communities; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Hausman Foods on its many decades of |
|
|
service to the Corpus Christi community and extend to the company's |
|
|
ownership and staff sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the business as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
