  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dear friend, Jack 
Stanton, who passed away last Friday in Anderson, Indiana.
  Jack was born in Mishawaka, Indiana on November 3, 1935. He served in 
the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, and dedicated fifty-five years of his 
life to the Indianapolis Life Insurance Company. He was known by his 
colleagues as a hard worker, dependable teammate, and humble leader.
  On a personal note, Jack Stanton was my friend. He was always quick 
with a smile and an encouraging word. And he was one of my most trusted 
advisors on issues impacting the insurance industry. I will miss him.
  He will be mourned most by those who knew him best, and he will be 
missed by all. Jack is survived by his wife of fifty-five years, Hattie 
Mae Stanton, his daughters Deborah Kay Coats and Wendy Lou Haines, his 
three grandsons Joseph David Haines, Daniel Jackson Haines, and Jessie 
Coats, his twin sister Janet Byer, his son-in-law R. Dean Coates, and 
many nieces and nephews to whom I give my deepest sympathies. Mrs. 
Stanton, your husband was a great man who had a profound impact on 
countless Hoosiers, and his life should be an inspiration to us all.
