	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 37
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Antonio Limas Hernandez on the occasion of his 100th
	birthday; and
	WHEREAS, This distinguished gentleman is well known for
	his wisdom and generosity of spirit, and he is a respected and
	admired citizen of Harlingen; and
	WHEREAS, Antonio Limas Hernandez was born January 17,
	1911, in Linares, Nuevo Leon, Mexico; he moved with his family to
	the Rio Grande Valley of Texas when he was seven years old; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Hernandez learned the value of hard work at a
	young age, helping his grandfather with a goat farm and milk
	delivery and later working as a laborer for several farmers,
	including Lloyd Bentsen, Sr.; he became a naturalized citizen of
	the United States and worked with the Texas Highway Department on
	road construction in the Rio Grande Valley; he met and married
	Maria de los Angeles Pena in 1932, and the couple enjoyed nearly
	50 years of marriage, raising a large and loving extended family; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Hernandez continued farming until 1950, when
	he was hired by Bush Supply Company in Harlingen, where he worked
	for 26 years; since his retirement, he has devoted his life to his
	church, his home, and his family, and his sons will occasionally
	gather at his home to enjoy an evening of laughter and fellowship
	and to sing old Mexican ballads; and
	WHEREAS, In recognition of his birthday, friends and
	family are gathering at a celebration mass at Our Lady of
	Assumption Church and at a dinner and dance at La Casa Del Sol in
	Harlingen on January 15, 2011; a beloved and respected member of
	his community, he is noted for his courage, his compassion for
	others, and his enthusiasm for living each day to the fullest;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
	Legislature, hereby recognize Antonio Limas Hernandez as a
	treasured citizen of our state and extend to him best wishes for a
	memorable 100th birthday celebration; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.

	Lucio
