  three decades to serving the people of Texas through his
  distinguished career with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts;
  and
         WHEREAS, A native of Orangeville, Mr. Wilder demonstrated an

  an enforcement officer, Mr. Wilder trained many of his younger
  coworkers in Sherman and earned their lasting respect and
  admiration for his patience and expertise; he was likewise

  and

  a circuit minister; after he retired in 2001, he continued to serve
  as a visitation minister for two congregations in Sherman; and
         WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Wilder enjoyed the love
  and support of his wife, Patricia Lois Toldan, with whom he shared
  43 years, and he took great pride in their children, Dwayne, Hope,
  Allison, Tim, and Beth; he passed away in 2015, at the age of 82; and
         WHEREAS, Billy Wilder's dedication, professionalism, and
  commitment to excellence greatly benefited his fellow Texans, and
  he leaves behind a record of public service that will continue to
  inspire all who were fortunate enough to know him; now, therefore,
  be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby honor the late Billy W. Wilder for his many
  years of service to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts; and,
