In memory of Oscar Ray Williams of San Antonio.
This resolution acknowledges the profound impact that Oscar Ray Williams had not only on his family but also on his community in San Antonio. It emphasizes his dedication to church activities, particularly at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, where he served in various roles, including deacon and grounds manager. The document memorializes his legacy by recounting his passions, which included gardening and photography, and his active engagement with church and community networks.
House Resolution 430 serves as a tribute to the life and contributions of Oscar Ray Williams from San Antonio, who passed away on April 10, 2008, at the age of 76. The resolution details Williams' early life, his military service during the Korean War, and his extensive career at Kelly Air Force Base, where he became section chief after dedicating 35 years of service. It highlights his perfect attendance and commitment while working at the base, as well as his active involvement in the community and local Zoning Commission.
While HR430 does not present points of contention alone as it is a resolution of remembrance, its very existence may indirectly highlight ongoing discussions about honoring local leaders and recognizing their contributions in the context of legislative action. The resolution demonstrates an appreciation for those who serve their communities selflessly, possibly prompting discussions on how communities choose to commemorate their local figures and the values they wish to uphold.
