                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 4, 2017

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to recognize Doug 
McCumber for his leadership and service to his community of Tuscola, 
IL.
  Doug graduated from Tuscola High School in 1967 and then the 
University of Illinois in 1971. After graduating from the University of 
Illinois, Doug began his 40 year career in banking and a life dedicated 
to his community. Over time, Doug served in many capacities such as the 
President of Tuscola's Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, and Community 
Development Corporation. Doug was also active in Tuscola's United 
Methodist Church as a member of its Board of Trustees.

  An avid sports fan, Doug enjoyed cheering on the Illini and St. Louis 
Cardinals, but that was nothing compared to his love for all things 
Tuscola Warriors. In fact, most knew Doug as the ``Voice of the 
Warriors'' as he was the play-by-play announcer for Tuscola High 
School's football team for 43 seasons.
  Doug McCumber passed away September 26th, remembered as a beloved 
family man to his wife and children, a devoted Christian to his 
congregation, and a public servant to the entire Tuscola community.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to send my deepest sympathies to Doug McCumber's 
family, friends, and all of those he impacted in service to his town.
