            the Korean War, he embarked on a rewarding career with the 
         
            Texas Game and Fish Commission, which later became the Texas 
         
            Parks and Wildlife Department; he eventually retired from 
         
            TPWD in 1993; and
         
                   WHEREAS, Mr. Van Cleave shared a fulfilling marriage with his 
         
            wife, Loretta, that spanned more than five decades before her 
         
            passing in 2010; he was the devoted father of four children, Tamra, 
         
            Robert, Luke, and Karen, and with the passing years, he had the 
         
            privilege of watching his family grow to include nine grandchildren,

            Caroline, and Caleb, and five great-grandchildren, Isabella, 
         
            Alexander, Sophia, Olivia, and Zoe; a man of strong faith, he and 
         
            Mrs. Van Cleave were founding members of Grace Community Church in 
         
            Tyler; in his leisure time, he enjoyed attending home Bible studies 
         
            and spending time with friends and family; and
         
                   WHEREAS, While his loss is difficult to bear, Bob Van 
         
            Cleave leaves behind numerous friends and loved ones whose 
         
            lives are far richer for having known him, and he will always 
         
            hold a treasured place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
         
                   RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th 
         
            Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory 
         
            of Robert E. Van Cleave and extend sincere condolences to all who 
         
            mourn his passing; and, be it further
         
                   RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
