  blessed with a daughter, Sue Alison Peschel, and two sons, Robert
  Stanley Wright Jr. and James William Wright; his seven
  grandchildren and his 13 great-grandchildren were a source of
  much pride and joy to him; and
         WHEREAS, A beloved husband, father, and grandfather and a
  man of strong character and faith, his generous spirit was a
  source of inspiration to others, and he leaves behind memories
  that will be treasured by his many loved ones and by all who were
  privileged to share in his life; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
