HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The late Dr. Bob Glaze demonstrated a deep
commitment to public health during his six terms in the Texas House
of Representatives and as a longtime member of the Texas Board of
Health, and it is most fitting that he be recognized with the naming
of the Department of State Health Services Laboratory Services
Section building in his honor; and
WHEREAS, Born in Smith County on November 20, 1927, Dr. Glaze
was the son of Ben and Erin Glaze; he served his country in the
United States Merchant Marine and earned a bachelor's degree in
agriculture from Sam Houston State University and a doctor of
chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Glaze represented House District 5 from 1991 to
2002, during which time he played a key role in securing funding for
the new DSHS laboratory as a member of both the house appropriations
committee and the public health committee, ultimately allowing
state employees to move out of a substandard temporary facility;
and
WHEREAS, In addition, Dr. Glaze served the Texas Board of
Health as chair of its legislative committee, and he worked
diligently at the state and federal levels to obtain funding for
public health initiatives and health care services; he continued to
strive to improve health care and health education as a private
citizen, and he benefited the medical profession as president of
the Texas Chiropractic Association and in other leadership roles;
Dr. Glaze passed away on June 25, 2010, at the age of 82; and
WHEREAS, A dedicated legislator and tireless health care
advocate, Dr. Bob Glaze devoted himself to the well-being of his
fellow Texans, and naming the Department of State Health Services
Laboratory Services Section building in his honor would provide a
lasting tribute to his exceptional contributions; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby recommend the Texas Facilities Commission name the
Department of State Health Services Laboratory Services Section
building at 1100 West 49th Street in Austin the Dr. Bob Glaze
Laboratory Services Section building; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
copy of this resolution to the chair and executive director of the
Texas Facilities Commission.
