                        Tuesday, April 21, 2015

  Ms. DUCKWORTH. Mr. Speaker, today I rise with sorrow and a heavy 
heart in recognition of Mr. Mark Johnson, a former DuPage High School 
District 88 Board of Education Member and constituent of mine. Mark was 
diagnosed with bone cancer this past spring and passed away on December 
13, 2014.
  Mark did everything with a sense of commitment and dedication. His 
contributions and character have greatly impacted our community, and 
his legacy will not only live on in the School District, but also in 
the hearts of those who knew him.
  Mark served on the District 88 Board of Education since 1999 and was 
President from 2003-2011. He graduated from Willowbrook High School in 
1966 and received the school's Distinguished Alumni Award in 2012. 
Through being a District 88 graduate and Board member, a D.A.R.E. 
officer and a Villa Park Police Department employee, Mark was involved 
in the communities of District 88 for more than 50 years.
  Thank you Mark for all that you have done for DuPage County, you will 
be sorely missed.
