                      Wednesday, January 30, 2019

  Mr. ROUDA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Tom 
Schultz, Fire Chief of Garden Grove, CA. This past weekend, Mr. Schultz 
died of stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
   Chief Schultz devoted his life to ensuring the safety and security 
of all Orange County residents, spending three decades in the fire 
departments of Garden Grove, Fullerton, and Brea, CA.
   In addition to his day-to-day work at the fire station, Chief 
Schultz trained and mentored young firefighters through his work as an 
instructor in Santa Ana College's fire technology program, and he was 
deeply involved in the management and leadership of the Orange County 
Fire Chiefs' Association.
   I commend Chief Schultz for his years of service and extend my 
heartfelt condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time.
   I ask all members to join me in remembering Tom Schultz--a public 
servant, family man, and leader--for a lifetime of service to the 
people and communities of Orange County.
