  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life of a dear friend, Mr. George Wayne Daniel, Sr.
  Mr. Daniel was born in Chicago, Illinois on November 10, 1948, but 
was raised in Bolton, Mississippi by his grandparents, Melvin and 
Fannie Moore. He attended Tougaloo College earning a bachelor's degree 
in political science and a master's degree in guidance and counseling 
from Jackson State University.
  He served as an academic counselor for over twenty years at Jackson 
State before taking on the roles of Police Chief of the Bolton Police 
Department and City Manager.
  I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Daniel for many years. We were 
childhood friends, high school and college classmates, and neighbors.
  From Hinds AHS, Tougaloo College, and Jackson State University, we 
have been with each other every step of the way. He was truly a dear 
friend who left an everlasting impression on my life. Mr. Daniel passed 
on September 10, 2018, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
  He is survived by his son, George Wayne Daniel, Jr., his grandson, 
George Austin Daniel, and his sister, Diane Daniel.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the life 
and memory of my dear friend, Mr. George Wayne Daniel, Sr.
