HONORING MITCH MENLOVE
(Mr. FLAKE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. FLAKE. Mr. Speaker, just days ago the State of Arizona lost a
kind and gentle sole when Mitch Menlove passed away at the tender age
of 36.
Mitch leaves behind a record of honor and integrity among those he
worked with in a successful career in public affairs. He leaves behind
a rich heritage of service in his church and his community.
Most important by far, however, is the legacy Mitch built, a legacy
that will continue for generations to come with his wife Elizabeth, his
children Max, Morgan, and Makenna, and a fourth child, Mitchell Kent,
Jr., who will be born any day now.
Just hours before Mitch passed from this life, he climbed Arizona's
highest peak. He stands even higher today.
Those of us who are left momentarily behind will be forever grateful
for the exemplary life he lived, the service he rendered, and for the
wonderful family that will carry on his legacy.
