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. | ||
