                       Tuesday, October 22, 2013

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Nathan S. 
Goodwin, of Glendale, Wisconsin, who passed away peacefully on October 
5, 2013 at the age of 93.
   Nathan Goodwin proudly served his country as an Army Warrant Officer 
in the Pacific during World War II. He returned to Wisconsin after the 
war where he raised four children with his wife of 64 years, Eleanor 
(nee Siegman). He was President of Temple Beth El's Men's Club and 
devoted his free time to fishing, gin rummy and poker.
   Nathan Goodwin loved his family deeply and is survived by his 
beloved wife Eleanor, his children Jack (Patricia) Goodwin, Alan 
(Claudia) Goodwin and Julie (Michael) Walker. He was predeceased by his 
son Richard (the late Susanne) Goodwin. He was the fond brother of the 
late Adeline (the late Max) Nelson and loving grandfather of Stefenie 
Goodwin, Jordan (Christine) Goodwin; Hannah Goodwin, Emily Goodwin; 
Molly Walker and Nora Walker. I'm proud to have his granddaughter Erica 
Goodwin as part of my Washington, D.C. congressional staff.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the life and 
accomplishments of Nathan S. Goodwin, and join me in extending our 
condolences to the entire Goodwin family. Their loss is also a loss to 
our nation of a good and decent man who lived an exemplary life as a 
citizen, a patriot, a husband, a father and a grandfather.
