WHEREAS, Donald Clifton Heath of Temple is turning 80 years | ||
old on April 25, 2011, and this occasion provides a welcome | ||
opportunity to recognize this esteemed Texan; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in 1931 in San Perlita to William and Johnnie | ||
Heath, Don Heath developed a love for horses as a small boy; he went | ||
on to work as a cowboy and has ridden horses throughout his adult | ||
life; he was a longtime member of the Bell County Sheriff's Posse | ||
drill team, and he also mastered the art of horseshoeing, which he | ||
did professionally for more than 30 years; and | ||
WHEREAS, Possessing a strong work ethic, Mr. Heath has worked | ||
hard throughout his life; he farmed land near Raymondville, was | ||
employed for two decades with the Reynolds Metals Company in Corpus | ||
Christi, and for nearly 25 years worked as a salesman and branch | ||
manager for the Gulf Coast Paper Company in Cuero, Brownsville, and | ||
Temple; since his retirement in 1996, he has been involved in | ||
several ventures, including a commercial hay baling business in | ||
Bell County, which he ran from 2000 to 2004; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Heath shared over 45 years with his wife, Alta, | ||
until her passing in 1996; fortunate enough to find love a second | ||
time, he married Janey Lewis Smith in 1997; this devoted family man | ||
takes great pride in his two children, Pattie Beebe and Clifton | ||
Heath, his stepdaughter, Jana Smith Copeland, and his 11 | ||
grandchildren and great-granddaughter, to whom he is | ||
affectionately known as "Pappy"; and | ||
WHEREAS, Known for his outgoing nature and his religious | ||
faith, Don Heath is a source of wisdom and inspiration to all who | ||
are privileged to know him, and it is a pleasure to commend him on | ||
eight decades of life well lived; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Donald Clifton Heath on his 80th birthday | ||
and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, | ||
be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Heath as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
