  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, we rise today in memory of Frank Alexander 
Grant III, who passed away on September 16, 2014 in his Altadena home 
following a battle with cancer. A natural leader and mentor to others 
both professionally and privately, Mr. Grant was a model of achievement 
and a positive force within the local community.
   Frank Alexander Grant III was born in Eureka, CA on December 7, 
1942, and grew up on the Yurok Indian Reservation, where he attended 
grammar school and high school. After graduating as high school 
valedictorian, Mr. Grant went on to receive a B.S. and M.S. in civil 
and sanitary engineering from Stanford University. On graduation day in 
1966, he married Carole Susan Magnus. Mr. Grant served his country in 
the U.S. Army Medical Service Corps stateside for two years before 
earning a Ph.D. in engineering at University of California Berkeley in 
1972.
   Frank Grant worked for over 30 years at MWH Global, an international 
engineering firm, managing large projects throughout California and 
abroad. Following a very successful career at MWH Global, Mr. Grant 
retired as the company's Senior Vice President. He built his own cabin 
along the Klamath River and was an active member in the Yurok 
community. Mr. Grant provided economic development advice to the tribe 
in addition to his involvement in other community organizations and 
pursuits in both Northern California and the Pasadena area.
   Mr. Speaker, Frank Alexander Grant III leaves behind a legacy of 
professional and personal achievement and community engagement that 
will not soon be forgotten. It is therefore appropriate that we pay 
tribute to him today and express our deepest condolences to his wife 
Carole; sons Frank IV and Philip; grandchildren Frank V, Andrew, Eva 
and Naomi; brothers Zane Grant Sr. and James Jackson Jr.; and step-
mother Elinor Grant.
