                       Wednesday, March 23, 2016

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
the life of Allan E. Nader, who died peacefully at his home in 
Northbrook, Illinois, on February 16, 2016, at the age of 78.
   Allan was the younger of two sons of Olga and Joshua Nader. He 
attended Lake View High School and was a graduate of the Illinois 
Institute of Technology. He received a Master's Degree in Science from 
Western Michigan University, and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from 
Purdue.
   After receiving his Doctorate, Allan began his career as a research 
scientist at DuPont, a post he held for 28 years. He then worked with 
his brother, Albert, at Questar and taught chemistry at Triton College 
and Northwestern University. He was part of INVO-Innovations and New 
Ventures at Northwestern, where he received the Office of Research Star 
Award in 2014 and the Outstanding Employee of the Year Award in 2015.
   Allan Nader was a man of deep and abiding faith and was deeply 
devoted to his church and his family. He was an unwavering believer in 
education and mentored many young people. He was a dear friend to many, 
and I will always be grateful to count myself among them.
   Allan Nader leaves his wife, Helen, the great love of his life for 
over 50 years, his daughter Cara, who was the joy of his life, and 
Cara's husband George, who became a true son to him.
   The prophet Micah wrote:
   ``What is good has been explained to you;
   this is what Yahweh asks of you:
   Only this, to act justly,
   to love tenderly
   and to walk humbly with your God.''
   This is how Allan Nader lived his life.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask the entire House of Representatives to join me in 
honoring the life of a great and good man, Allan E. Nader, and in 
extending our condolences to his wife, his entire family and his many 
friends. Our country is stronger and better because of his integrity, 
patriotism, brilliance, mentoring and faith. His was a life well lived 
and stands as a source of inspiration to countless individuals who were 
blessed to have known him.
