H.R. No. 1190
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived may help
to comfort those saddened by the passing of Raymond Lee Clymore of
Waxahachie on March 12, 2017, at the age of 78; and
WHEREAS, The son of Noel Alva and Mary Edith Clymore, Ray
Clymore was born in Woodsboro on October 10, 1938, and grew up with
the companionship of his brother, Jerry; as a boy, he moved with his
family to the Long Beach area in California, where he graduated from
high school with the Class of 1957; he went on to marry the former
Carol Jean Brewer in 1966, and they became the proud parents of
three daughters, Laura, Leslie, and Lindsay; and
WHEREAS, In 1982, Mr. Clymore returned to Texas with his
family and started his own business; after his wife was diagnosed
with Alzheimer's, he served as a devoted caregiver to her until her
passing in 2009; fortunate enough to find love again, he married the
former Susan Lewis Winn in 2011, and they enjoyed taking trips
together, building their dream home, and worshiping with their
fellow congregants at Farley Street Baptist Church; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Clymore was sustained by a deep and abiding
faith that allowed him to meet life's challenges with optimism and
grace; he was further blessed with a caring family, which
eventually grew to include seven grandchildren and a
great-granddaughter; he also delighted in the companionship of the
members of his breakfast group, the "Romeos"; and
WHEREAS, Those fortunate enough to have known Ray Clymore
will long remember the way he touched their lives with his wisdom,
his quick wit, and his kindness and generosity, and he will forever
hold a treasured place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Raymond Lee Clymore
and extend sincere sympathy to his relatives and friends; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Ray
Clymore.
