	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times and
	meaningful accomplishments remain to comfort the family and friends
	of Bernard Jerome Seal Jr. of Corpus Christi, who passed away on
	January 12, 2017, at the age of 57; and
	WHEREAS, The son of Bernard Seal Sr. and Evelyn Abroms Seal
	Kraus, B. J. Seal was born in 1959 in Florence, Alabama; he moved

	he considered the city to be his true home; an alumnus of King High
	School, he went on to graduate from Southwest Texas State
	University in San Marcos, where he was a member of Sigma Nu
	fraternity; and
	WHEREAS, After returning to Corpus Christi, Mr. Seal took a
	job as a real estate agent with his family's firm, Berney Seal Co.
	Realtors; his love for good food eventually led him to embark on a
	second career as the proprietor of Bernard's Deli, which later
	became Bernard's Catering; and
	WHEREAS, Though his journey on this earth ended far too soon,
	B. J. Seal touched the lives of countless individuals with his
	warmth, his generosity, and his delightful wit, and he will always
	be remembered with great affection by those he leaves behind; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Bernard Jerome Seal
	Jr. and extend sincere condolences to the members of his family: to
	his children, Bernard Seal III, Connor Seal, and Sabrina Seal; to
	his fiancée, Jena Kauffmann; to his mother, Evelyn Kraus, and his
	stepfather, Dr. Melvin Kraus; to his stepmother, Shirley Seal; to
	his brothers, Mark Seal and his wife, Laura, and Eddie Seal and his
	wife, Melissa; to his stepsisters, Marsha Underberg and her
	husband, Mike, and Marlene Wright and her husband, Jimbo; to his
	stepbrothers, Dr. Alan Kraus and his wife, Malea, Dr. David Kraus
	and his wife, Cathy, and Glen McElroy and his wife, Del; and to his
	other relatives and many 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 B. J. Seal.
