                  HONORING THE LEGACY OF PAUL JENNINGS

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 4, 2015

  Mr. TOM PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to speak 
about the unfortunate passing of a good friend, Paul Jennings. Having 
known Paul for years, including back in my time in the Georgia General 
Assembly, I know personally his hard work ethic and the legacy he will 
leave behind with those he's influenced.
  After a successful marketing career in Manhattan, Paul came to the 
state of Georgia in 1970 to work for Decatur Federal Savings and Loan. 
During his two decades with the company, Paul helped Decatur Federal 
become a leading mortgage lender in Georgia from his position of Senior 
Vice President of Marketing. Paul was a leader of local and national 
marketing organizations, where he was able to be a mentor and role 
model to students and young professionals alike. From 1998 to 2002, I 
was able to serve alongside my friend, Paul, where he served in the 
Georgia State House of Representatives.
  A man of Paul Jennings' integrity and compassion is hard to come by. 
In his free time, Paul served on the boards of the United Way, DeKalb 
Medical Center, arts groups, and other local nonprofits that continue 
to serve the people of Georgia, just as Paul did. On behalf of the 
Sixth District of Georgia, we extend our thoughts and prayers to Paul's 
wife Edna, his daughter Jan, and his sons Danny, David, and Tommy.
