                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 15, 2016

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Don McEnhill, 
Sr., who passed away on September 29, 2016 after a lifetime of service 
to his community. Born February 21, 1930, in San Francisco, Mr. 
McEnhill attended the University of San Francisco prior to serving in 
the United States Air Force, and using GI Bill benefits, he graduated 
from University of the Pacific Dental School in 1960, going on to 
practice dentistry for 32 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. A 2nd 
Lieutenant in the United States Air Force, Don met his future wife 
Mildred (Milly) Lewis, a Western Airlines stewardess, while stationed 
in Salt Lake City; they would go on to raise four loving children.
  Mr. McEnhill's legacy of community service includes serving on the 
boards for the Dixie School District, Fitch Mountain Homeowners' 
Association, and League of Women Voters. Additionally, Don served on 
the Marin County Civil Grand Jury and was a staunch advocate for the 
Russian River. An active parishioner of St. Isabella Parish for 53 
years, Don helped establish the high school faith formation Parish 
Youth Council (PYC) to serve the spiritual, social, and intellectual 
needs of high school students.
  Mr. McEnhill is survived by his beloved children: John McEnhill IV, 
Marilyn McEnhill, Don McEnhill, Jr., and Ann Margaret McEnhill in 
addition to his sisters: Mary McInerney, Elizabeth Kozel and Judith Lee 
Jasko; his brother, Gerald; and his beloved grandchildren, Jack and 
Emma McEnhill, William and Joseph Simonds; and a large extended family.
  Mr. Speaker, the depth of Mr. McEnhill's service to the military and 
his local community, as well as his commitment to his family and faith 
have left a positive legacy to many, and he will be dearly missed. It 
is therefore appropriate that we pay tribute to him today and honor his 
memory.
