                    CELEBRATING LIFE OF JIM NYSTROM

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of Jim Nystrom of Titusville, Pennsylvania, who passed away 
last weekend.
  After serving in the military, raising a family, and building a 
successful practice as a CPA, Jim still answered the call of his 
community each and every time it was raised. Over the years, he served 
as president of the school board, as a city council member, as mayor of 
the city of Titusville, and on almost every board and organization that 
needed volunteer help to fulfill their mission. When local businesses 
found themselves in trouble, Jim was always there, lending his advice 
and expertise that saved countless jobs in the process, never with the 
expectation of credit or recognition.
  Please join me in celebrating the life of Jim Nystrom and in sending 
the sympathy of this institution to Jim's family and to the many 
friends who survive him.
  You will long be remembered, Jim, for your drive, your generosity, 
and for a life well lived.
