H.R. No. 1151 |
|
||
WHEREAS, A life made rich through meaningful service drew to | ||
a close with the passing of James Robert Lago of Corpus Christi on | ||
March 15, 2023, at the age of 77; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Gilmer on August 2, 1945, Jim Lago grew up | ||
working at his family's cattle operation in addition to having a job | ||
delivering newspapers; as a young adult, he was an oil field worker; | ||
he went on to serve his country in the U.S. Air Force during the | ||
Vietnam War; and | ||
WHEREAS, Embarking on a career in broadcasting, Mr. Lago got | ||
his start at KLUE in Longview before working at stations in Beaumont | ||
and Houston; for more than three decades, he was a mainstay of | ||
Corpus Christi radio, first as a DJ for Z95 and later as a | ||
conservative talk radio host at KEYS and KKTX; he welcomed opposing | ||
views, often disarming guests with his curiosity, humility, and | ||
infectious laugh; the host of the Lago in the Morning show, he would | ||
end his broadcasts with his trademark signoff, "Have yourself a | ||
Blue Bell country day"; in 2016, he was honored with induction into | ||
the Texas Radio Hall of Fame; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Lago benefited from the | ||
love and support of his wife, Pamela, and he was the devoted father | ||
of three daughters, Christy, Jordan, and Jayme, who preceded her | ||
father in death; over the years, he had the pleasure of welcoming | ||
into his family five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; in | ||
his leisure time, he was a voracious reader, and he loved baseball, | ||
especially the Corpus Christi Hooks; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although he will be deeply missed, the passage of | ||
time will never diminish the joy and love that Jim Lago brought into | ||
the lives of all who knew him; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of James Robert Lago | ||
and extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of his family: to his | ||
wife, Pamela; to his daughters, Christy and Jordan; to his | ||
grandchildren, Corey and his wife, Ashley, Zoe, Aubry, Brett, and | ||
Isaac; to his great-granddaughters, Ava and Ella; to his sisters, | ||
Donna and Lenise; and to his many other 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 Jim Lago. | ||
Hunter | ||
