                         Friday, August 4, 1995
  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. John H. 
``Jack'' Turner who recently passed away. Jack was a good and dear 
friend who will be missed by the community he worked so hard to 
improve, and all who knew him.
  Jack dedicated his life to helping others. He attended Southern 
Illinois University at Carbondale, served on the Christian County 
Board, worked as a Democratic Precinct Committeeman, and was a 
dedicated member of the Rosamond Community Presbyterian Church. Jack 
also served on the Pana Board of Education of 10 years, was President 
of the Illinois Association of County Boards, served with the Executive 
Board of Illinois Brotherhood of Electrical Workers 702, and was a past 
president and proud member of the Pana Lions Club. Through his many 
civic minded activities Jack was able to positively impact the lives of 
his friends and neighbors.
  Mr. Speaker, Jack's passing is a great loss to us all, for his life 
was spent improving the lives of the people in his community. Mr. 
Speaker, Jack Turner was a fine man, and will be missed.
