  Mr. COX. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate the life of my classmate 
and friend, Douglass Lory Warren, whose passions in life earned him the 
moniker ``Renaissance Man'' among his many admirers. He died Sunday, 
July 21, 2002, at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, of non-Hodgkins 
lymphoma, at the age of 52.
  This Saturday, October 12, 2002, his friends and family will gather 
for a memorial service at the Memorial Chapel on the campus of Doug's 
beloved Harvard University. His classmates, business associates, 
neighbors, and many others whose lives he touched will share 
remembrances, anecdotes, and even photos for inclusion in a ``Book of 
Doug'' that will serve as a lasting reminder of this extraordinary 
individual.
  Doug was born in Memphis, TN. He graduated from St. Paul's School, 
Concord, NH, and received his BS and MBA from Harvard University. He 
was a member of The Hasty Pudding Theatricals and the Harvard 
Krokodiloes, and was president of The Harvard Independent. A resident 
of Hopkinton, he was a founder of the Hopkinton Education Foundation. 
At the time of his death, he was a partner with Tatum CFO Partners, 
LLP.
  According to his brother Gregory, Douglass viewed the world with his 
heart rather than his

head. Both the humble and the mighty deserved and received his equal 
care and consideration. As one friend put it, ``Douglass was the man I 
knew I could call on in the middle of the night when I had to make an 
important decision--one that might even hurt me. I knew I could count 
on him to help me do the right thing. We might discuss it then, or he 
would say, `Let me think about it and I'll call you back.' And he 
always called me back.''
  To his wife Nancy, his daughters Julia and Madeleine, his brother 
Gregory, and all who loved him, the prayers of this Congress are with 
you and your families.
