|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The untimely death of Officer Larry Dale Candelari | ||
| of the Pasadena Police Department on April 26, 2013, at the age of | ||
| 49, has brought a great loss to his family, fellow peace officers, | ||
| and many friends; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Born in Houston on October 15, 1963, Larry Candelari | ||
| was the son of Henry and Roma Candelari; he graduated from North | ||
| Shore High School and subsequently served his country in the United | ||
| States Marine Corps for five years; along the way, he completed jump | ||
| school and special forces combat dive training and was recognized | ||
| with numerous decorations and honors; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Officer Candelari joined the Pasadena Police | ||
| Department in 1990, and he served as a member of the SWAT team for 22 | ||
| years; his tenure with the department also included working as a | ||
| patrol officer and as a Drug Abuse Resistance Education instructor; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, In all of his endeavors, he was supported by his wife | ||
| and former high school sweetheart, Julie, with whom he shared 28 | ||
| years, and he took pride in a fine family that included two sons, | ||
| Seth Candelari and his wife, Dana, and Alec Candelari, and a | ||
| granddaughter, Tatum; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Held in high regard by the law enforcement | ||
| community, Officer Candelari endeared himself to others with his | ||

| duty, when his life was tragically cut short; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texans everywhere owe an immeasurable debt of | ||
| gratitude to the courageous men and women who dedicate themselves | ||

| highest standards of his profession; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory | ||

| granddaughter, Tatum Candelari; to his brothers, Enrico and James | ||
| Candelari; to his half-brother, Buddy Casper; to his half-sister, | ||
| Connie Casper; to his father- and mother-in-law, Allen and Nancy | ||
| Thomas; to his sister-in-law, Natalie Thomas Hoelzer; and to his | ||
| 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 Officer | ||
