WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the loss of Eddie | ||
Bob Vantreese of Waxahachie, who passed away on May 8, 2017, at the | ||
age of 80; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of John Elbert and Virda Julia Hullett | ||
Vantreese, Bob Vantreese was born on July 28, 1936, and grew up in | ||
the town of Red Oak; after graduating from high school, he served | ||
his country as a member of the United States Army; on December 23, | ||
1955, he married the former Margie Ann Martin, with whom he shared a | ||
rewarding union that spanned six decades, before her passing; he | ||
was the proud father of two children, David and Juanita, and with | ||
the passing years, he delighted in seeing his family grow to include | ||
four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Vantreese's faith provided him with strength | ||
and hope after he was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer at | ||
age 32; told that he had less than a year to live, he went on to | ||
outlive that prediction by nearly a half century, and he cherished | ||
each day as a blessing, never to be taken for granted; he was an | ||
active member and a leader in his congregation at Forreston Baptist | ||
Church; and | ||
WHEREAS, A man who devoted himself wholeheartedly to his | ||
family, his faith, and his country, Bob Vantreese leaves his loved | ||
ones with countless treasured memories, and he will forever hold a | ||
special place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Eddie Bob Vantreese | ||
and extend sincere sympathy to his 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 Bob | ||
Vantreese. | ||
