MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR EMPLOYEES AT MOLSON COORS
(Ms. MOORE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. MOORE. Madam Speaker, I want to thank the members of the
Wisconsin delegation for joining me at this very difficult moment.
Madam Speaker, I really wish that I did not have to make the request
that I am about to make, but I am asking Members to join me and indulge
me in this undertaking.
Two days ago, the employees at Molson Coors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
went to work in my district, and, unfortunately, five of them did not
go home. Now their families are gathering to put them to rest.
I want my colleagues to know their names:
Jesus Valle Jr. of Milwaukee was an employee since 2014 and was only
33 years old.
Gennady ``Gene'' Levshetz, 61, of Mequon, was an employee since 2008.
I have known Gene personally since 1992, and his wonderful wife, Alina;
his daughters, Tanya and Becca.
I was so inspired by his story of having emigrated from the former
Soviet Union to Mequon in the early 1990s. He worked like a dog.
Gene will be remembered for being the best husband, the best dad, and
the best grandfather. I can attest to that.
Trevor Wetselaar, 33, of Milwaukee was married and a 2009 graduate of
the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was an employee since 2018.
Mr. Dana Walk of Delafield was an employee since 2004. He had been
married to Dori for 35 years. His three children, Andy, Melanie, and
Michelle are left to grieve his loss. He was a graduate of Kettle
Moraine High School.
Dale ``Huddy'' Hudson of Waukesha was an employee since 2008.
Madam Speaker, I would ask that all Members and guests in the gallery
rise for a moment of silence and reflect on these souls.
