                     HONORING OFFICER MATHEW MAZANY

  (Mr. JOYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today I want to honor the life and 
service of a brave constituent of mine, Mentor police officer Mathew 
Mazany. Officer Mazany, a 14-year veteran officer, was killed in a 
tragic hit-and-run on Sunday morning while helping with a traffic stop.
  He achieved his dream by following in the footsteps of his father, 
who also served as a police officer for 34 years in Maple Heights, not 
too far from Mentor. His coworkers and those who knew him best 
described him as a happy-go-lucky kind of guy who enjoyed protecting 
the Mentor community.
  Officer Mazany leaves behind a son, brother, father, and countless 
others who had the pleasure of knowing him. His legacy and dedication 
to public service will not be forgotten.
  My prayers are with Officer Mathew Mazany's family, his friends, the 
city of Mentor, and the Mentor Police Department during this difficult 
time.
