                        Friday, October 2, 2020

  Mr. CLOUD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Mr. 
Jerry Kane, a giant in the Corpus Christi community, who passed away on 
September 24th, 2020. A prominent businessman, public servant, and 
family man, Jerry was well-known and well-loved in our part of Texas. 
His family emigrated here after World War II from Czechoslovakia, where 
his parents survived the Holocaust and fought for the freedom of their 
people.
  Jerry spent many years in the family meat-packing business, and 
during his time as President and CEO, he moved the company forward 
through innovation and pioneering new technologies. He was also a 
tremendous public servant for both the city of Corpus Christi and the 
state of Texas, serving on the Regional Water Task Force, the Governors 
Committee for Disaster Recovery and Renewal, and the Texas Board of 
Human Services.
  Most importantly, Jerry was a devoted family man. He especially loved 
spending time with his grandchildren, and was known for being friendly, 
caring, and always helpful. I offer my condolences to his family and 
friends as they grieve the loss of a great man. He will be fondly 
remembered by all.
