  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember Greg Seghezzi 
of Grass Valley, California.
  Greg was well-known in the Grass Valley community, and it would be 
hard to find many who didn't know and care for him. He was a member of 
the Grass Valley Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce and an active 
member of the men's ministry at Twin Cities Church. Greg had an 
uncompromising and uncommon work ethic: having owned a wine store and 
catering business as well as working as a realtor in Nevada County. He 
was the quintessential example of the American entrepreneur and 
innovator. Going far beyond being a successful businessman, Greg was 
also a dedicated servant to his community: donating food, supplies and 
hundreds of hours in the kitchen cooking for local fundraisers and 
special events.
  For all of his success in the public arena, the single greatest joy 
in Greg's life was his family. Greg and Angie, his wife of 26 years, 
raised four outstanding children: Antonio, Gianna, Roman and Dominica. 
Whether it was driving across the state chasing volleyball matches and 
diving meets, or providing a strong and guiding example of hard work 
and fine values, Greg's largest investment of his time and energy went 
to loving and caring for his family in every way possible.
  Mr. Speaker, men like Greg Seghezzi don't quickly fade from memory, 
nor can they ever be replaced. Whether through his professional life, 
or his personal dedication to his family and community, Greg touched 
many lives in our community; lives that he undoubtedly changed for the 
better and it is my honor to rise in his memory today.
