WHEREAS, Respected oilman Deane Stoltz is being honored for
his notable career with his posthumous induction into the Petroleum
Hall of Fame on April 18, 2013; and
WHEREAS, The Petroleum Hall of Fame, which is based at the
Permian Basin Petroleum Museum in Midland, recognizes individuals
who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the
petroleum industry or who have inspired others through their
achievements, service, or strength of character; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Stoltz was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, on April 3,
1929; he graduated from Northwestern University and went on to

originally working as an independent oil operator, he went on to
partner with Cyril Wagner and Jack Brown to form Stoltz and Company;
and

the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, and officer of the local United
Way; he was also a charter member of the Midland Community Theatre
board of trustees and chair of the Midland Presbyterian Homes board
of trustees and the Permian Basin Area Foundation; and
WHEREAS, West Texas lost this esteemed business and civic
leader when he passed away on January 29, 2006, at the age of 76; and
WHEREAS, Deane Stoltz truly distinguished himself as an
influential figure in an industry that is such a vital part of the
Texas economy, and he is indeed a worthy addition to the hall of
fame; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby honor the memory of Deane Stoltz on the occasion
of his induction into the Petroleum Hall of Fame and pay tribute to
him for his many worthwhile accomplishments; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Stoltz's family as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
