  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember Maximillian Bandy 
of East Moline, Illinois who passed away on December 5th at the age of 
87.
  Max Bandy was born on February 1, 1926 in Centerville, Iowa, one of 
11 children. After serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, Max 
worked at Case IH for over 40 years. He stayed active in his community 
as a union steward and later ran for Alderman of the 6th Ward. He was 
first elected in 1993 and remained on the City Council until 1999. 
Additionally, Max served on the board of the Florence Aldridge Child 
Development Center in East Moline.
  Max loved being involved in his community, singing in his church 
choir and cheering on his Iowa Hawkeyes. He had a large family and was 
a very proud father, stepfather, uncle, grandfather and great-
grandfather.
  Mr. Speaker, I'd like to give my sincere condolences to Max Bandy's 
family and friends and honor his years of dedicated service to the 
people of East Moline.
