H.R. No. 1169 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Memories of a life well lived may help to comfort | ||
those saddened by the death of Joe Michael Crow on November 4, 2022, | ||
at the age of 76; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Carl Jesse Crow and Mattie Mae Brown Crow, | ||
Joe Crow was born in Waco on September 22, 1946, and he grew up with | ||
the companionship of three siblings, Nola Ann, Carl, and Marvin; he | ||
attended Waco High School, where he excelled in football and track, | ||
and he went on to earn a degree from Southwest Texas State College; | ||
answering his nation's call to duty, he joined the United States | ||
Navy and served for four years before receiving his honorable | ||
discharge in 1974; and | ||
WHEREAS, Returning to civilian life, Mr. Crow worked for | ||
Electronic Data Systems in Dallas before becoming a manager at the | ||
Briggs-Weaver industrial supply company in Houston; in 1984, he | ||
relocated to Austin and began a new chapter of his career at | ||
Motorola; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Crow benefited from the | ||
love and support of his wife, Pat, with whom he shared a fulfilling | ||
union that spanned 51 years; he was a devoted father to his son, | ||
Chad, and he delighted in time spent with his grandson, Francis; a | ||
fearless do-it-yourselfer, he undertook such projects as | ||
rebuilding a 1957 Chevrolet with Chad and working with Pat to | ||
construct a large earthen berm to protect their home from flooding; | ||
in one of the more adventurous episodes from his senior years, he | ||
went skydiving with his daughter-in-law, Kori, an experience that | ||
allowed him to emulate his father, a World War II paratrooper; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although he is deeply missed, Joe Crow leaves 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 House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Joe Michael Crow and | ||
extend sincere condolences to all 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 Joe Crow. | ||
