2019 Regular Session ENROLLED
SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 90
BY SENATOR GATTI
A RESOLUTION
To commend R & V Works and its owners, Robert and Vicki Myers, for their many years
in business as a Louisiana manufacturer.
WHEREAS, it is with great pride that the citizens and the Senate of the Legislature
of Louisiana have learned of the success of R & V Works in Minden, Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, Robert Myers worked as an engineering supervisor at Clement
Industries when he first started tinkering with ideas for a fish cooker; and
WHEREAS, Robert and Vicki's church youth group at Apostolic Lighthouse Church
was having a fish fry fundraiser, and Robert was toying with a fish cooker he had been
designing and working on so he brought it out to use at the fundraiser, and people were
curious and started asking questions about it and inquiring where they could purchase one
like it; and
WHEREAS, with just three hundred dollars to their name, Robert told his wife Vicki
that he might be on to something that would produce some more income and with some
convincing from Robert they agreed to invest in what is now R & V Works manufacturing
Cajun fryers, smokin' Cajun grills, Cajun express smokers, Cajun boilers, Cajun griddles,
and fish cookers; and
WHEREAS, while R & V Works is a relatively young company, the Myers have
been in business since 1999; a business born from a lifelong dream of Robert and Vicki
Myers to create a company that not only offers an exceptional product but provides their
customers with an ingredient that is all too often missing today, extraordinary customer
service, and Robert and Vicki are accomplishing this by always putting their customers first;
and
WHEREAS, they understand their customers are the reason that they are in business,
and believe if they build a relationship with each customer that is caring, honest, and sincere,
then those customers will be happy and will tell their friends and family and this will in turn
make for a successful business; and

WHEREAS, at R & V Works the ideas were born in the rolling hills of northern
Louisiana, in a small community where everybody is a neighbor and friendships are lifelong;
and
WHEREAS, this is how they have built a thriving business on a philosophy of
building lifelong relationships with their customers, and also by treating them as neighbors,
friends, and family; and
WHEREAS, everyone who works at R & V Works believes in their vision of "The
customer's needs come first and meeting and exceeding the customer's expectations is the
#1 priority"; and only in understanding and meeting their customers needs, the company can
reach full potential, so all of their employees are highly motivated and consistently go above
and beyond to fulfill this mission; and
WHEREAS, their goal is to provide the most attractive, efficient, and well-built
product available on the market for the most competitive price anywhere, because R & V
Works is all about providing exceptional value to their customers; and
WHEREAS, they believe that providing versatile, high performance, low
maintenance gas fryers with unsurpassed quality will give their customers the greatest all
around value for their investment; and
WHEREAS, what they are doing is working because they have increased production
every year that they have been in business; and
WHEREAS, the success of the state of Louisiana, the strength of our communities,
and the overall vitality of American society depend, in great measure, upon strong, driven
caring people like Robert and Vicki Myers who pioneer change and make it happen.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate of the Legislature of Louisiana
does hereby commend R & V Works and its owners, Robert and Vicki Myers, for their many
years in business as a Louisiana manufacturer.
