                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 14, 1994

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I am deeply saddened by the death of John 
D. Havens and wish to extend my most heartfelt condolences to his 
family and many friends.
  John Havens was an intelligent and creative man who set high personal 
standards and worked with steadfast determination to achieve his goals. 
He was a kind man who set a shining example of decency and 
neighborliness.
  He was a community and agricultural leader who gave willingly of his 
time and efforts to serve others. He was a member of Grace Lutheran 
Church, Fremont; Fremont Exchange Club; National Dairy Shrine; Green 
Springs Co-Op Association (past director); Fremont Sugar Beet Growers 
Association (director); Sandusky County Soil Conservation Service; 
Sandusky County Farm Bureau (board member); Fremont Pickle and Tomato 
Growers Association (past director); Late Comers Farm Council; Ottawa 
County Harness Horseman Association; Holstein-Friesian and Ohio 
Holstein Association; Sandusky County Chamber of Commerce (Agricultural 
Committee); Fremont Elks; and a member of the board of directors of The 
Old Fort Banking Company.
  Although there are no words to ease the sorrow caused by the passing 
of John Havens, solace can be found in the memory of having been 
touched by such an outstanding man. It is my sincere hope that happy 
memories will comfort his wife, Joyce, daughters Jennifer and Janelle, 
son, Eric, his mother, Gertrude, and his other beloved family members 
in their bereavement and will be a continuing source of strength to 
them.
