	WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Dickman enjoyed the love
	and support of his wife, Dedria, and his three children, Michael,
	Matthew, and Jennifer, and stepson, Spencer; he was later blessed
	with seven grandchildren, Logan, Ford, Reagan, Grace, Sloan, Kalan,
	and Milly; and
	WHEREAS, Compassionate, generous, and wise, Norbert Dickman
	lived a life that was rich in personal and professional
	achievements, and he leaves behind a record of service that his
	loved ones can remember with pride; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 87th Texas Legislature hereby pay tribute
