                    HONORING THE LIFE OF JOHN SODORO

  (Mr. ASHFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ASHFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the exceptional life 
of John Sodoro, a lifelong resident of my hometown, Omaha, Nebraska.
  John was a respected lawyer and a loving father, grandfather, and 
husband. Many in the community knew him for his congenial personality 
and compassion for his clients.
  Before following his father's footsteps in the legal profession, John 
graduated from Creighton Prep, and later, in true Omaha fashion, he 
earned his undergraduate and law degree from Creighton University.
  Over the course of his career, John made a difference in the lives of 
many, successfully helping his clients through a wide variety of 
difficult times. The Omaha community has lost a great man and true 
public servant. May his work be remembered and his life always 
celebrated.
  My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sodoro family.
