of 84; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Alton and Nancy Ingram, John Ingram was | ||
born on April 3, 1934, in Gary and grew up with seven siblings, | ||
Virty, Rebecca, Jesse, Paul, Benjamin, Dorothy, and Clarice; he | ||
graduated from H. B. Pemberton High School in Marshall in 1953 and | ||
entered the U.S. Army three years later; he went on to enjoy a | ||
successful career that included working for Braniff Airways and | ||
Skeffington's Formalwear, and he subsequently opened his own | ||
company, Mr. Formal Tuxedo; and | ||

Baty, whom he married in 1969; he was the proud father of seven | ||
children, Sabrina, Demetrius, Sharmane, Johnetta, Larry, Bonita, | ||
and Rodney, and as the years passed, he was further blessed with | ||
four grandchildren, DeRoderick, Christopher, Nicholas, and Ryan, | ||
and a great-grandchild, Dakota; and | ||
WHEREAS, Strong in his faith, Mr. Ingram was a devoted | ||
congregant of Concord Church; and | ||
WHEREAS, While his loss is difficult to bear, John Ingram | ||
leaves behind numerous friends and loved ones whose lives are far | ||
richer for having known him, and he will always hold a treasured | ||
place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of John D. Ingram 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 John | ||
Ingram. |
