  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, they say the sinew of our representative 
democracy is its citizens.

We lost one of our model citizens--Mr. Scott Townsley Chase--on Easter 
Sunday, March 27, 2005. I have known the Chase family for several 
years, and I was saddened to hear of Scott's passing as a result of 
cancer at the young age of 46 years. He loved his family dearly and 
will be sorely missed by those he touched and impacted within the 
Elmhurst community.
  Upon graduation from York High School, Scott matriculated to 
Valparaiso University. After completing the requirements for a Bachelor 
of Science degree, Scott entered the Valparaiso Law School and 
graduated with a law degree in 1983. He was proud to be an attorney and 
thought it was the noblest profession a person could pursue. His family 
indicated that Scott liked solving people's problems and took pride in 
providing the best representation for all his clients.
  Scott was married to Michelle Chase--an attorney as well--and was the 
proud father of three wonderful children--Austin, Kelsey, and Morgan. 
Though Scott's family and friends will dearly miss him, they will 
always take solace in knowing that Scott has provided a foundation from 
which all can build upon while living life to the fullest.
