                   TRIBUTE TO DANNY HENRY POULOS, JR.

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 22, 2013

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and memory of 
Danny H. Poulos of Council Bluffs, Iowa who passed away on October 4th 
following a yearlong struggle with glioblastoma, a terminal form of 
brain cancer.
   Danny was born on December 30th, 1970 to his parents Dan and Kathy 
and grew up with his siblings Helen and George. After graduating from 
Abraham Lincoln High School, Danny went on to earn a degree in 
construction management from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Upon 
obtaining his degree, Danny married his wife Julie and together they 
had three children--Danny III, Sylvia, and Bobby.
   Danny will fondly be remembered for his invaluable contributions to 
the family business, Pizza King, which has been a part of his family 
for decades. Throughout the years, Danny became the face of Pizza King, 
often mentoring those around him and ushering the restaurant towards 
countless awards for service, atmosphere, food and more.
   While the contributions to his business and neighbors have defined 
his role in the community, Danny would be the first to tell you that 
his family was always his number one priority. Danny is survived by his 
wife, parents, children, siblings and numerous extended family members 
that will never forget his incredible love and dedication.
   Mr. Speaker, Mr. Poulos was a one-of-a-kind Iowan who truly embodied 
the work ethic and family values our state is renowned for. In his 
passing, we are reminded of his creative mind, loving heart, and 
fighting spirit which will be deeply missed. I invite my colleagues in 
the House to join me in offering the Poulos family my prayers and 
deepest sympathies during this extraordinarily difficult time.
