                      Thursday, February 10, 2005

  Mr. CARNAHAN. Mr. Speaker, my remarks today are to pay tribute to the 
life of a valued public servant, Mr. Thomas Zipf, of St. Louis, MO.
  Mr. Zipf was a valued employee of the City of St. Louis Police 
Department where he served over 30 years and rose to the rank of 
Captain. Mr. Zipf was known throughout the force as being dedicated to 
his job and being driven by his desire to help and protect others.
  His love of life and passion for his community live on through his 
wife, Mary Ann Zipf, and his two children, Kate, and Tom, Jr. His 
dedication to his job continues with his son, who is also an officer 
with the City of St. Louis Police Department.
  Mr. Speaker, the outpouring of support by family, friends, and the 
community made it evident to all what an extraordinary person and 
public servant Mr. Zipf was. His wife and two children are a great 
testament to his life and vision. My prayers are with his family, 
friends, and community today, as we honor his life.
