HONORING TERRY ALLEN
(Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor the life
of an important and respected member of the Chicago community. Last
week, we lost an advocate for the middle class, Terry Allen, when he
lost his battle with cancer.
Serving for decades as a dedicated leader, he represented thousands
of Chicagoland workers with great distinction. Terry embodied the heart
of our city and strived to improve the lives of workers, even when his
own health was failing. His contributions to the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, IBEW Local 134, and middle class
workers changed countless lives and will continue to do so in his
memory.
Terry Allen was an inspiration to all who knew him. I ask my
colleagues to join me in honoring his legacy, celebrating his life, and
remembering his illustrious contributions to the city of Chicago.
