| H.R. No. 962 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses play a vital | ||
| role in the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and one such | ||
| enterprise, Community Lumber Company, has established a record of | ||
| dependability in Muenster over the course of seven decades; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Community Lumber's founders, Jerome Pagel and Rody | ||
| Klement, were former employees of the C. D. Shamburger Lumber | ||
| Company who formed a partnership and purchased a lumber business of | ||
| their own in 1946; one year later, they moved the operation to | ||
| Muenster and changed its name to Community Lumber Company; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Today, Community Lumber is the oldest continuously | ||
| family-owned and -operated lumber and hardware establishment in | ||
| Cooke County; the business has rendered steadfast and reliable | ||
| service to area residents since its inception and has played an | ||
| indispensable role in the development and construction of numerous | ||
| local projects; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The company has benefited immensely from the | ||
| foundation laid by Mr. Klement, who passed away in 1980, and | ||
| Mr. Pagel, who died in 2004; Jerome Pagel's sons, Dick and John, | ||
| assumed ownership of the business after their father's death, and | ||
| Rody Klement's son, Cory, has worked as hardware/store manager and | ||
| also became a part owner, along with Tim Schneider, Joe Pagel, and | ||
| Ronnie Hess; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For the past 70 years, Community Lumber Company has | ||
| built a solid reputation for customer service while contributing to | ||
| the prosperity and vitality of Cooke County and beyond, and it is | ||
| most appropriate to honor the business for achieving this | ||
| significant milestone; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize Community Lumber Company for its 70 | ||
| years of service in Muenster and extend to all those associated with | ||
| the company sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
| further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Community Lumber Company as an expression of high | ||
| regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
