  Mr. HASTINGS.  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of Mr. John Aloysius Shanley. John was a loving husband and father. He 
passed away peacefully on June 5, 2017, in the comfort of his home, 
surrounded by his family, after a hard fought battle against ALS.
  John was known for his sense of humor, his youthful heart, and his 
successful business, P.G. Tire Inc. Known to his family as ``PopPop,'' 
John is survived by his wife Marlene Shanley and four loving children 
Genevieve and Charles Hawk, Nicholle and Kenneth Simpson, Joseph and 
Natalie Shanley, and Marilyn Shanley, as well as his sister, Sharon 
Shanley of Las Vegas, NV. He has 7 grandchildren, Andrew Simpson, 
Ryleigh Simpson, Elizabeth Hawk, Colin Hawk, Maggie Shanley, Jack 
Shanley and Blaise Ingoglia.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. John Aloysius Shanley will be remembered as a 
humorous and humble man, beloved by his family and friends. I am very 
pleased to honor his life and legacy here on the floor of the U.S. 
House of Representatives. My thoughts and prayers are with his family 
and friends during this most difficult time.
