H.R. No. 2778

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A full and productive life drew to a close with the
death of Irving Braslau of Corpus Christi on May 2, 2015, at the age
of 85; and
WHEREAS, Born in Yorktown on October 1, 1929, to Morris and
Annie Braslau, Irving Braslau was a lifelong Texan; he answered his
nation's call to duty as a member of the United States Army as a
young man, and after returning to civilian life, he married the love
of his life, the former Marilyn Goodman, in 1957; the Braslaus
shared nearly six decades together until her passing, and over the
years, they became the parents of four children, Pamela, Robin,
Blake, and Tracy, and their treasured family later grew to include
two additional generations; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Braslau was a successful entrepreneur who
enjoyed a fulfilling career as the owner of Braslau's Furniture; in
addition, his keen knowledge of the stock market allowed him to
identify nearly any ticker symbol from memory and to share valuable
stock tips with others; in his leisure time, he delighted in
reading, watching movies, and spending time outdoors hunting and
fishing, and he was a longtime member of Congregation Beth Israel;
and
WHEREAS, Those fortunate enough to have known Irving Braslau
will fondly remember him for his generosity, his warmth, and his
wonderful sense of humor, and he will forever hold a treasured place
in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Irving Braslau and
extend sincere condolences to the members of his family: to his
children, Pamela Zane and her husband, Randall, Robin Davis and her
husband, Jordan, and Blake Braslau and his wife, Monica; to his
grandchildren, Andrea Zane Feinman and her husband, Blake, Stacy
Zane, Todd Davis and his wife, Mali, Amy and Eric Davis, and Grant,
Caroline, and Natalie Braslau; to his great-grandchildren, Zane
Phillip Feinman and Max Nathan Davis; 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 Irving
Braslau.
