  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to pause to 
remember the life of William Smith ``Bill'' Garnsey who sadly passed 
away, he was 88 years old.
  Bill was born on November 5, 1911 in Billings, Montana. He moved to 
Greeley, Colorado with his family in 1919. Bill graduated from Yale 
University with letters in football and crew.
  Bill was elected to the State Senate in 1967 and served until 1975. 
He was the chair of the Finance and Business and Labor committees. Bill 
was a strong supporter of the University of Northern Colorado and was 
instrumental to the institution when it was granted University status. 
In 1966, Bill received an honorary doctorate from the University of 
Northern Colorado for his services to that esteemed institution of 
higher education.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I would like to pay tribute to 
Bill Garnsey. He was dedicated to serving the people of Colorado and 
will be missed by all those who knew him. Bill's service will long be 
remembered by the people he served in Colorado.
