                        Tuesday, August 11, 2020

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of the 
late Curtis Jacobson, a long-time resident of Detroit and Michigan's 
13th Congressional District.
  I first got to know Mr. Jacobson when I served as a legislator in 
Michigan's State House of Representatives. He was engaged and well-
informed on a number of topics, ranging from current events to public 
policy to everyday issues facing residents of Michigan. Mr. Jacobson 
never shied away from sharing his opinion. My staff and I always 
appreciated a call from Mr. Jacobson. It was a delight to hear from him 
shortly after beginning my first term as U.S. Representative for 
Michigan's 13th District, and to continue to keep in touch with him.
  Throughout his life, Mr. Jacobson had a passionate interest in 
politics. He sought out knowledge and thought critically about issues. 
He took pride in his military service, having risen in the ranks to 
serve as Captain in the U.S. Army. In addition, Mr. Jacobson worked as 
a substitute teacher before settling into a career as an accountant 
with the City of Detroit. He retired at the age of eighty. In addition 
to his work, Mr. Jacobson enjoyed playing bridge and spending time with 
his family. He is survived by his four children, Mary, Charles, Russel, 
and Marjorie; his eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
  It was an honor to know Curtis Jacobson. Please join me in his 
recognition.
