H.R. No. 1911

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Ramiro Ramirez Gonzalez is celebrating his 50th year
in business in the Rio Grande Valley in 2017; and
WHEREAS, Growing up as one of 12 children on the San Jose
Ranch near San Benito, Ramiro Gonzalez developed a strong work
ethic at an early age; after earning his welding certification from
Del Mar College in 1964, he accepted a position as a welder for the
Brown and Root construction company in Brownsville; and
WHEREAS, In 1967, Mr. Gonzalez and his wife, Elizabeth,
opened Mr. G's Fireworks; Mr. Gonzalez continued to work during the
day as a welder, but when Brown and Root closed down its Brownsville
office, he decided to focus on developing his business and started a
second enterprise, Mr. G's Sno Wiz, in 1980; and
WHEREAS, Over the next decade, with the help of his wife and
children, this dynamic entrepreneur opened additional Mr. G's
Fireworks locations in the region, and in 1990, he launched yet
another business, the R&R Paving Company; and
WHEREAS, This year, Mr. G's Fireworks is celebrating its 50th
anniversary, while Mr. G's Sno Wiz celebrates 37 years of operation
and R&R Paving celebrates 27 years; Mr. Gonzalez has shared his
good fortune with others by giving generously to a variety of
causes; and
WHEREAS, Supported by his family, his community, and his own
religious faith, Ramiro Gonzalez has enjoyed a half century of
success as a local business leader, and it is a pleasure to honor
him for his many notable accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Ramiro Ramirez Gonzalez on the 50th
anniversary of the founding of his first business and extend to him
and his family sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Gonzalez as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
