  In Memory
  of
  Carroll Sidney Shaddock
 
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and
  commemorates the life of Carroll Sidney Shaddock, who died on
  December 4, 2022, at the age of 82; and
 
         WHEREAS, Carroll Sidney Shaddock was born on July 7, 1940,
  in Beaumont to Dr. Carroll Bitting Shaddock Jr. and Hulda
  Gaertner Shaddock, whose German family emigrated to Texas in
  1899; Carroll grew up in Orange and went on to graduate from Rice
  University in 1962 and Yale Law School in 1965; in 1963, he
  married the love of his life, Dorothea "Dorry" Schulze; and
 
         WHEREAS, After law school, Carroll clerked for Judge Joe
  Ingraham of the United States District Court for the Southern
  District of Texas in Houston; he enlisted in the Texas Army
  National Guard and received a direct commission as an officer in
  the Judge Advocate General Corps of the United States Navy; he
  then joined the Houston law firm of Liddell, Sapp, now known as
  Locke, Lord, where he became a partner and practiced for 45
  years; and
 
         WHEREAS, A brilliant and determined man who sought to
  improve his community, Carroll led the movement to reduce the
  proliferation of billboards on Texas highways, which resulted in
  the reduction by 90 percent of Houston's billboards, from 15,000
  in 1980 to 1,500 today; Carroll was founding chairman of Scenic
  Houston and Scenic Texas, and he cofounded Trees for Houston, an
  organization that encouraged the planting of trees and created
  miles of tree-lined parkways in Houston; his contributions led to
  the creation of the Texas Department of Transportation's Green
  Ribbon highway tree-planting program and of Scenic America; and
 
         WHEREAS, An admired visionary and respected leader,
  Carroll founded the Bach Society Houston and the Melanchthon
  Institute, a Lutheran theological study center; he and Dorry did
  much to elevate worship music through their support of the
  construction of glorious pipe organs at Christ the King Lutheran
  Church, where they also donated the Bach organ and where he
  served as congregational president, music director, and chairman
  of various committees, and to First Lutheran Church of Houston,
  where he served as choir director; and
 
         WHEREAS, Carroll was a devoted husband and father whose
  generosity of spirit, warmth, and enthusiasm will not be
  forgotten; left to cherish his memory are Dorry, his loving wife
  of 59 years; his three sons, Christian, Peter, and Matthew; his
  siblings, Peter, Bill, and Gail; his nine grandchildren; and all
  who were blessed to share in his life; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved
  family of Carroll Sidney Shaddock; and, be it further
 
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas
  Senate and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in
  memory of Carroll Sidney Shaddock.
