                            HON. GWEN MOORE

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 10, 2018

  Ms. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Guy Johnson, a 
public servant and administrator. He has retired from public service in 
April, 2018. Guy Johnson was the Village President for the last twelve 
years of his 20 year tenure on the Village of Shorewood's Board of 
Trustees. He has resided in Shorewood for over 34 years.
  Guy Johnson grew up in Milwaukee and graduated from Marquette 
University with an Engineering Degree and from the University of 
Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Master's Degree in Business Administration.
  He has tirelessly worked on behalf of the Village of Shorewood. Guy 
was the treasurer of the Shorewood Booster Club and served on the 
committee that raised the funds for the Shorewood Fitness Center. He is 
proud of the burgeoning business district, neighborhood initiatives, 
capital improvements, and access to the lake in the village. Further, 
Shorewood was the first community in Wisconsin to receive AARP's Age-
Friendly Designation because of its safe, walkable streets; better 
housing and transportation options; access to key services; and 
opportunities for residents to participate in civic and community 
activities. I know for all these reasons and more Guy Johnson regards 
the Village of Shorewood as a true gem.
  He and his wife Mary have been together for over 50 years and share a 
love of service to the community. She is a retired nurse manager and 
president of the Milwaukee Chapter of the Ladies of Charity, a 400 year 
old organization started by St. Vincent de Paul that works to clothe 
underprivileged school children. She graduated from Shorewood High 
School. They have two sons who attended Shorewood schools from 
kindergarten through high school. They also have four grandchildren.
  Although he will no longer be at the helm serving as Shorewood 
Village President, he and Mary will remain living in Shorewood as 
active members of the community. Mr. Speaker, Guy Johnson has left a 
legacy of strong leadership. I am honored to have had the opportunity 
to work with him over the years in ways to improve the quality of life 
of those residing in the Village of Shorewood. I am proud to recognize 
and pay tribute to Mr. Guy Johnson. The citizens of the Fourth 
Congressional District, the State of Wisconsin and the nation have 
benefited tremendously from his dedicated service.
