                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 23, 2015

  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take 
this time to recognize the life of Mr. William T. Stanley, a scientist 
from the Field Museum located in Chicago, IL. Born in Lebanon, Bill 
grew up in Kenya and moved to the United States with intentions on 
becoming an animal scientist.
  Bill was in charge of some 29 million species at the Field Museum in 
Chicago. Scientists and students would reach out to Bill for his 
resourcefulness in their respected field of study. He has helped many 
graduate students reach their potentials with his assistance to their 
thesis and dissertations. His knowledge and ability to explain 
specimens in detail motivated his audience to engage and learn.
  Reaching his goals to becoming a mammalian researcher, his character 
touched the lives of everyone he came in contact with. Bill was known 
for not only his research but also his ability to fill the room with 
his good spirits and incredible sense of humor. Bill will be missed by 
his family, friends and the mammalian research in which he devoted his 
life too.
  I would like to thank William T. Stanley for his strong leadership 
and contributions to the city of Chicago and may he rest in peace.
