By: King of Hemphill | H.R. No. 2176 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times and | ||
meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the family and friends | ||
of Franklin T. Lively, who passed away in November 2018, at the age | ||
of 90; and | ||
WHEREAS, Frank Lively was born in April 1928, and he met the | ||
love of his life, the former Sarah Zuk, in a history class at The | ||
University of Texas at Austin in 1953; he remained a true romantic | ||
throughout their 65-year marriage, and he was devoted to their two | ||
children, Lynne and Lance, and five grandchildren, Hadley, Cole, | ||
Gabriel, Dustin, and Stephanie; and | ||
WHEREAS, After completing his bachelor's degree in | ||
journalism, Mr. Lively joined the staff of the Travel and | ||
Information Division of the Texas Highway Department in 1961; he | ||
was named editor of Texas Highways the following year, and he | ||
transformed it from a 24-page employee journal into a popular | ||
monthly travel publication; during his tenure, circulation grew | ||
from 1,500 to about 430,000, including readers in more than 80 | ||
countries; the magazine won numerous awards, and Mr. Lively took | ||
great pride in the talented staff; although he retired in 1990, he | ||
stayed in touch with his colleagues throughout his lifetime; and | ||
WHEREAS, Loyal to his alma mater, Mr. Lively followed | ||
Longhorns football with avid attention, and he fully deployed his | ||
colorful vocabulary when analyzing plays and players; he was also a | ||
champion of precise language who required adherence to proper | ||
English usage and bristled at such outrages as the misapplication | ||
of "lay" and "lie" and the wanton use of nouns as verbs; and | ||
WHEREAS, Frank Lively is deeply missed by those who were | ||
privileged to share in his love and friendship, but he has left his | ||
family and friends with a wealth of memories that they will forever | ||
treasure; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Franklin T. Lively | ||
and extend sincere condolences to all who mourn his passing; 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 Franklin | ||
T. Lively. |
