  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor James Henry Glover for 
his role as an inspirational African-American family-man, friend and 
colleague.
  James Glover was born in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1942, he enlisted 
in the United States Army and was stationed in New York, where he met 
his wife, Carrie Hunley.
  Mr. & Mrs. Glover moved to San Francisco and began a family. As a 
husband, Mr. Glover worked hard to provide his wife a secure and stable 
home. As a father, he ensured that his children received the best 
education possible. He instilled in them and all that knew him the 
importance of an education.
  Mr. Glover believed that people can continue to learn beyond the 
academics of the classroom. He believed that life itself taught 
lessons. From his experiences, he educated his family, friends and 
colleagues to the importance of tolerance, compassion for human beings 
and the power of love.
  Mr. Glover was active in the NAACP and in the National Kidney 
Foundation. He contributed his services to these organizations, because 
he believed in the empowerment of people and service to his community.
  I will always remember Mr. Glover as a proud father, always at the 
side of his son, Danny, with a smile on his face. Mr. Glover touched us 
with his love, his warmth, his compassion, his wisdom and his insight. 
He was an incredible human being who served as a wonderful role model 
and an inspiration for young African-American men.
  Mr. Glover was an extraordinary and honorable man, who will be dearly 
missed. His memory will be cherished by his three sons, Danny Glover, 
Rodney Glover and Martin Glover, and to his daughter Connie Grier. I 
Join his family and friends to salute James Henry Glover.
