           TRIBUTE TO MR. CLINTON HAVRAN AND MRS. DEBORAH ORR

                                  _____
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL T. McCAUL

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 22, 2017

  Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the bus accident 
that took the lives of four people in Biloxi, Mississippi, on March 7, 
2017.
  Tragically, a tour bus from Austin, Texas found itself lodged on 
train tracks in Biloxi, and was subsequently struck by an oncoming 
train. Although passengers started to disembark from the bus, several 
could not make it off in time.
  Today, Mr. Speaker, I stand to honor the lives of two of those 
individuals who were taken from us in the accident: Mr. Clinton Havran 
of Sealy, Texas, and Mrs. Deborah Orr of Bastrop, Texas. Clinton and 
Deborah were both pillars in our community.
  Clinton served in the United States Army from 1958 to 1963, and 
subsequently had a long and distinguished career as a professional 
truck driver with Central Freight Lines and Steinhauser's of Texas. He 
is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Annie Mae Havran, his 
children, and his grandchildren.
  Deborah, or Debbie as her friends knew her, was known for her spirit 
and kindness. Debbie was a Jill-of-all-trades, and held jobs as a 
nursing assistant and assembly worker, among others. She actively 
volunteered in her community--with several organizations that work with 
needy children and as the Activities Director at the Bastrop Senior 
Center. Debbie is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, Tim Orr, 
as well as her children, grandchildren, and a great-grandchild.
  I join their family, their friends, and the people of Bastrop and 
Sealy in rejoicing the lasting impression Clinton and Debbie left on us 
all. As our community grieves and continues to come together in this 
time of sorrow, I ask that we honor their memory by working together to 
ensure accidents like this do not happen in the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House offer their love 
and support for Clinton, Deborah, and their loved ones.
