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 the Mentor community.
Officer Mazany leaves behind a son, a brother, a 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 Mazany's family, his friends, the city of
Mentor and the Mentor Police Department during this difficult time.
