of Robert Clarence Pittard of San Antonio, who passed away on | ||
September 2, 2011, at the age of 84; and | ||
WHEREAS, Bob Pittard was born on March 14, 1927, in | ||

the U.S. Army, and he retired at Fort Bliss in 1970 at the rank of | ||
lieutenant colonel; four decades later, his son, Major General Dana | ||
J. H. Pittard, would serve as post commander of the El Paso base; | ||

this avid sportsman especially enjoyed bowling; and | ||
WHEREAS, The loss of Lieutenant Colonel Pittard is keenly | ||
felt by the numerous friends that he made through the years as well | ||
as by the many people in Texas whose lives he forever enriched; now, | ||
therefore, 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 Robert | ||
Clarence Pittard. |
