  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of 
Circuit Court Judge H. A. Taylor who died on May 21, 2004 at the age of 
63 in Little Rock.
  Judge Taylor was originally from Jefferson County and had an 
impressive career which spanned over the course of three decades. 
Graduating from Pine Bluff High in 1958, Judge Taylor went on to earn 
his bachelor of science and his law degree in 1965 from the University 
of Arkansas. Judge Taylor was elected to office in 1975 to the 2nd 
Division Circuit Court Judge for the 11th Judicial District West, 
serving Jefferson and Lincoln counties for 29 years.
  Judge Taylor had a distinguished military career, serving in the 
Vietnam War and earning both the Bronze Star and Army Commendation 
Medals.
  I am deeply saddened by Judge Taylor's death and offer my heartfelt 
condolences to his wife, Marcy Taylor. His legacy will live on through 
the lives he touched and by those who knew him and counted him as a 
friend.
