|
||
WHEREAS, A rich and purposeful life drew to a close with the | ||
passing of Rodolfo G. Sanchez of Rockdale on February 23, 2018, at | ||
the age of 78; and | ||
WHEREAS, "Rudy" Sanchez was born in Seguin on April 9, 1939, | ||
to Isabel and Sixto Sanchez, and he grew up with the companionship | ||
of 10 siblings, Roberto, Roger, Lydia, Maria Hermelinda, Maria | ||
Elisa, Ramiro, Raul, Sixto, Carlos, and Petra; when he was 11, his | ||
father died in a car accident, and his mother was left to raise the | ||
children on her own; his family then traveled the country as migrant | ||
farm workers, and he ultimately dropped out of school to help | ||
support his mother and siblings; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his difficult experiences in his youth, | ||
Mr. Sanchez learned the values of perseverance and hard work; he | ||
went on to enjoy a successful career with Alcoa that spanned 27 | ||
years, and he was a member of the United Steelworkers union; in his | ||
spare time, he found additional jobs working construction, and he | ||
eventually began investing in property in and around Rockdale; an | ||
avid outdoorsman, he relished any opportunity to go fishing, and he | ||
also delighted in cheering on the Dallas Cowboys and the Rockdale | ||
Tigers; he was influenced by music throughout his life, | ||
particularly mariachi and Tejano styles, and he was known to "cut a | ||
rug" on the dance floor; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Sanchez enjoyed the love | ||
and support of his wife, Lillian, with whom he shared a rewarding | ||
marriage that spanned 52 years; he took great pride in their three | ||
sons, Marco, Rocky, and the late Mario Alberto Sanchez, and he | ||
instilled in them the importance of education in fulfilling their | ||
dreams; above all else, he cherished spending time with his | ||
treasured family; and | ||
WHEREAS, Warm, generous, and outgoing, Rudy Sanchez | ||
brightened the world for all who knew him, and they will forever | ||
hold him close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Rodolfo G. Sanchez and | ||
extend sincere condolences to his relatives and friends; 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 Rudy | ||
Sanchez. | ||
