                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 4, 2001

  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep regret 
that I rise to pay tribute to Clifford Erle Lampman, who passed away on 
October 28, 2001, leaving the cities that he served in California to 
mourn the loss of a respected business associate and friend.
  After his honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps, he 
graduated from the University of North Dakota and Denver University 
with civil engineering degrees. He obtained his Master's degree in 
Structural Engineering at the University of Southern California and 
attended Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, California. With the support 
of his wife, Gwen, he eventually established his own business, Lampman 
and Associates. Mr. Lampman's expertise in consulting and engineering 
soon opened doors to contracts with many California cities. Major 
projects that he successfully completed include the Alameda Corridor 
Railroad Lowering for Huntington Park and a massive three bridge 
project for the city of Corona. At the time of his passing, he was 
working for the city of Placentia as an executive advisor to the first 
railroad-lowering project in Orange County, known as the Orange Gateway 
Railroad Lowering Project.
  Family, friends and business associates described Mr. Lampman as a 
visionary, charismatic leader, an inspirational optimist and a devout 
Christian who opened his heart and home to those in need of support, 
guidance and prayer. Four brothers and sisters, his wife, Gwen, seven 
children, nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild survive him, all 
who will experience a void that was once filled by his loving 
personality.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that this 107th Congress join me in celebrating 
the life and legacy of Mr. Clifford Erle Lampman.
