                  IN LASTING MEMORY OF EUGENE FARRELL

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. MIKE ROSS

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 20, 2004

  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life and 
legacy of Eugene Farrell from Dermott, Arkansas who passed away on July 
3, 2004. As a dedicated member to the City of Dermott, Mr. Farrell's 
life was full of honors and achievements.
  Mr. Farrell was a selfless public servant, serving not only as Mayor 
of Dermott from 1988-1999, but also as a Quorum Court member. For his 
dedication and loyalty to the City of Dermott and Chicot County, I will 
forever be grateful.
  I am deeply saddened by the death of Mr. Farrell. His passing will 
leave a huge void on the Chicot County Quorum Court, the City of 
Dermott, and in the lives of many friends. My heart goes out to his 
wife of 59 years, June Barrett, and their four children, Sheila 
Brannon, Linda Fowler, Buddy Farrell, and Brian Fowler. I extend my 
sincerest sympathies to them and can only hope that we find some solace 
in the lasting legacy of Eugene Farrell as his spirit lives on in each 
of us.
