	in his free time, he enjoyed playing golf, traveling, cheering for
	his Longhorns, and giving back to his community; and
	WHEREAS, While his loss is difficult to bear, Flip Whitworth
	has left behind numerous friends and loved ones whose lives are far
	richer for having known him, and he will always hold a treasured
	place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas
	hereby pay tribute to the memory of H. Philip "Flip" Whitworth and
