                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 25, 2017

  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Syracuse 
native Mr. Victor G. McNett.
   Mr. McNett served with his brother in the U.S. Army's 27th Infantry 
Division during World War II in Pearl Harbor, Saipan, and Okinawa. Mr. 
McNett then returned home and joined the Syracuse Police Department, 
where he served in the department's crime laboratory as a photographer, 
search technician, and fingerprint analyst. Mr. McNett later became the 
Director of the Crime Laboratory before retiring as a Lieutenant in the 
Syracuse Police Department in 1973. Mr. McNett served Central New York 
diligently as a member of the Syracuse Police Department, and was 
honored with numerous awards throughout his 27 years of service.
   Mr. McNett was predeceased in death by his wife of 43 years, 
Virginia McNett, and daughter, Susan McNett. He is survived by three 
children: Linda, Eric, and Douglas McNett; six grandchildren; two 
great-grandsons; his brother, Duane; and sister, Phyllis.
   Mr. McNett's love for country and family never faltered over the 
course of his life. He decided to share that love with the world in his 
memoir, ``Victor G. McNett, A Life of Service to Country, City, and 
Family.'' May Mr. Victor G. McNett's name and legacy forever be 
remembered, and may he rest peacefully.
