  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise to pay 
tribute to the life and memory of Pete Jones of Buffalo, Wyoming, who 
passed away recently at age sixty-nine. I personally knew Pete well, 
and he was a devoted family man, a dear friend, and a beloved member of 
his Buffalo, Wyoming and Glenwood Springs, Colorado communities. As his 
family and community mourn his passing, I believe it is appropriate to 
recognize the life of this exceptional man, and his many contributions 
to his community and state.
  Pete was a man of the highest integrity and ethics. During his years 
spent in Glenwood Springs, he was known in the business community for 
his fair dealing and problem-solving skills. In his spare time, he 
immensely enjoyed the rodeo, competing in rough stock events, and also 
trained and worked as a smokejumper. However, he found the most joy in 
life spending time with his wife Doris, his children, grandchildren, 
and the families of his brothers and sisters.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise before this body of Congress and 
this nation to pay tribute to Pete Jones. I am proud to have known such 
a great man who enriched the lives of his family and community. My 
heart goes out to his family during this difficult time of bereavement.
