|
||
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 | ||
serve in the U.S. Navy before settling in Midland in 1955; | ||
originally working as an independent oil operator, he went on to | ||
partner with Cyril Wagner and Jack Brown to form Stoltz and Company; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The business later merged with Tipperary Land and | ||
Exploration, which Mr. Stoltz served as president and chair of the | ||
board; following his resignation in 1989, he drew on his many | ||
decades of experience to establish his own independent oil and gas | ||
company; and | ||
WHEREAS, This engaged Texan was active in his community, | ||
serving as president of the Midland ISD board of trustees, chair of | ||
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. |
