	WHEREAS, Born May 6, 1916, in Uvalde, Texas, Max Noe grew
	up in the lower Rio Grande Valley; he moved with his family to
	Austin in 1934 and graduated from Austin High School; and

	WHEREAS, Max had a 40-year career with the United States

	liberated by Allied troops in April of 1945; he received the
	Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster for his distinguished service;
	and

	WHEREAS, Throughout his life, Max was active in numerous
	community and charitable organizations, including the Austin
	Chamber of Commerce, United Way, and the American Red Cross; he
	was president of the Downtown Founders Lions Club and volunteered
	as a docent at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum, to
	which he donated his extensive political button collection; he
	was married to the late Caroline Krueger Noe for 44 years; and

	WHEREAS, An exemplary gentleman, he was highly patriotic
	and was respected in the community for his leadership and his
	many accomplishments; he was a devout Christian and a dedicated
	member of Saint Martin's Lutheran Church; and

	WHEREAS, A man of integrity, strength, and generosity, he
	gave unselfishly of his time to others, and his wisdom, warmth,
	and valued counsel will not be forgotten by those who knew him;
	and

	WHEREAS, Max Noe was beloved by his family and friends, and
	he leaves behind memories that will be treasured forever by all
	who were privileged to share in his life; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd

	family of Max L. Noe: his wife, Pacita K. Noe; his son, Gary Noe;
	his stepson, Ben King; his sister, Gladys Douglas; and his two
	granddaughters; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	the members of his family as an expression of deepest sympathy
	from the Texas Senate, and that when the Senate adjourns this
	day, it do so in memory of Max L. Noe.
