                       Tuesday, November 18, 2014

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of 
William Campbell, of Belvidere, Illinois, who passed away November 3, 
2014 at the age of 67.
   Bill Campbell, as he was known, touched thousands of lives through 
his work as Financial Secretary of UAW Local 1268 for over 30 years. He 
began work at the Chrysler plant in Belvidere in 1965 and served as 
Financial Secretary of Local 1268 from 1981 until his retirement in 
2013. The UAW was his true passion in life.
   Bill received the Walter P. Reuther Distinguished Service Award in 
2013, the highest honor bestowed by the International UAW. His life was 
finally taken by cancer in November after an 18-month battle. He is 
sorely missed by his extended family and friends.
   Mr. Speaker, I would like to give my sincere condolences to Bill's 
family and friends in Belvidere and honor his years of dedicated 
service to the UAW and his community.

                          ____________________
