  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to the life and memory of Marshall Duane ``Whitey'' 
Sherman, a longtime resident of Kremmling, Colorado. Mr. Sherman lived 
an extraordinary life and accomplished many things, he began his career 
as a lineman with the Estes Park Light and Power Company. Soon after, 
he worked as a consultant and inspector for various power companies 
throughout the state including the Department of Energy.
  Despite his busy career, Mr. Sherman also managed to find time to 
make significant contributions within his community and throughout the 
State of Colorado. A cordial and responsible individual, Mr. Sherman 
spent much of his free time as a mentor to Colorado's future 
generations. He served as a 4-H leader and was involved in a number of 
church youth summer programs. Mr. Sherman also served on a host of 
other organizations that became influential to the welfare of the 
Kremmling community. He was president of the Middle Park Fair Board for 
ten years, served on the Kremmling Hospital board of directors, was the 
president of the West Grand Education Foundation, and was active in 
many groups within the Kremmling Community Church where he was a 
member.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I take the time to pay 
tribute to a man that has epitomized what it means to be a benefactor 
of his state and a role model for future generations to emulate. He was 
a decent, hard working American who found the time to help others and 
helped to make the Town of Kremmling, Colorado a better place to live. 
My condolences go out to the Sherman family, his wife Geneva and their 
sons Marshall, Mike, and Rich. Although the loss of Mr. Sherman will be 
deeply felt throughout the Kremmling

community, there is solace in knowing that his life has made an 
impression that will transcend his death for many years to come.
