 Corpus Christi, who shared nearly seven decades of marriage; and

  

        WHEREAS, Frank Kelso was born in Bellville on 

  

 September 20, 1936, and the former Alice Boyle was born the 

  

 following year in Dumas on November 23; they met at church and

 grew to include 7 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; and

  

        WHEREAS, Employed for 26 years as a game warden for the 

  

 State of Texas, Mr. Kelso rose to become a district supervisor, 

  

 and his career highlights included the capture and release of 

  

 Bubba, the javelina; following his retirement in 1993, he enjoyed 

  

 spending time out in his shop, teaching his grandchildren to hunt 

  

 and fish, and regaling them with tales of his game warden 

  

 adventures; he had a gift for teaching, and he was always ready to 

  

 lend a helping hand to family and friends; Mrs. Kelso took great 

  

 pleasure in caring for her home and family; a wonderful cook, she 

  

 always made sure no one left their home hungry; and

 January 13, 2023, at the age of 85; and

  

        WHEREAS, Although Frank and Alice Kelso are deeply missed, 

  

 their tremendous devotion to each other will forever remain a 

  

 source of inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know 

  

 them; now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th 

  

 Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the lives of Frank Aulston 

  

 Kelso and Alice Sue Boyle Kelso and extend sincere condolences to 

  

 the members of their family, to their friends, and to all who 

  

 mourn their passing; and, be it further

  

        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
