George William (Bill) Tate, Sr., loving and devoted husband and father, rose to heaven on Friday, June 14, 2013, in the presence of loved ones. Bill, 85, of Pasadena, TX, was preceded in death by his parents Delton N. and Margaret A. Tate; son George William (Bill) Tate, Jr., M.D.; grandson Ramsey A. Tate, granddaughter Samantha Tate; and dear friend Raymond Marsh. He leaves behind his precious wife of 63 ½ years, Fran Warhol Tate; daughters Linda Tate Young and Sandy Tate Stokes; sons-in-law James R. Young, Sr., and George N. Stokes, M.D.; grandchildren James R. Young, Jr., and wife Jessica, Sandra Young, Reagan Tate, Sabrina Tate, Christina Stokes, and Nicholas Stokes; and life-long friend O.M. Bakken. Bill was employed at Brown & Root for 38 years and was a member of the Brown & Root Retirees Association, a life-time member of the American Legion Post 521, the Arabian Shriner’s Int’l, the Grand Lodge of Texas Park Place #1172, and the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Bill’s life-long passion was but one thing – loving, caring, and supporting his dear wife and his closely-knit family whom he placed above all else in his life. No soul will be missed greater than he.
