  and
         WHEREAS, Born on February 7, 1940, on a cotton farm in eastern

  Czech American family; after graduating from Rogers High School in
  1958, he attended Temple Junior College and Sam Houston State

  being part of Comptroller Bob Bullock's administration, and he was
  assigned to the agency's Enforcement Headquarters at the time of
  his retirement in 2000; and
         WHEREAS, After moving to Houston, Mr. Dubcak met the love of
  his life, Jeannie, whom he married on May 6, 1967; the couple shared
  a remarkable 55 years together and became the parents of a son,
  Travis; over the years, their cherished family grew to include two
  grandsons, Travis and Horacio, and a great-grandson, Nicholas;
  later in life, Mr. Dubcak and his wife traveled extensively
  throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and they also enjoyed
  taking cruises; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Dubcak's love for his Czech heritage led to his
  involvement in a number of Czech American organizations; he worked
  for RVOS Insurance for 30 years, in addition to serving on the
  company's board of directors; passionate about music from an early
  age, he played the trumpet for several polka bands, most notably the
  Vrazel Polka Band, and after being an active member of Sokol in
  Houston, he served as vice president of the Sokol West in Waco; he
  was a member of the board of directors of the Western Fraternal Life
  Association from 1976 to 2007, distinguishing himself as its
  longest unopposed director; other groups that benefited greatly
  from his involvement include the Austin Czech Historical
  Association and the Travis-Williamson Counties Czech Heritage
  Society; and
         WHEREAS, Julius Dubcak enjoyed a life that was rich in
  family, friends, and accomplishments, and he will forever hold a
  special place in the hearts of those he leaves behind; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Julius James Dubcak
  and extend sincere sympathy to all those who mourn his passing; 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 Julius
