  COMMEMORATING COMMISSIONER ED HUMPHREY'S SERVICE TO CLERMONT COUNTY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BRAD R. WENSTRUP

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 3, 2020

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize Commissioner 
Ed Humphrey for his years of tireless service and dedication to the 
Clermont County community as he is set to retire at the end of the 
year. Commissioner Humphrey has been a fixture of Clermont County for 
his entire life, and his service to our community has been felt for 
generations.
  Mr. Humphrey's early volunteer work as a firefighter with the 
Miamiville Fire Department led to the development of the Life Squad on 
which he served as EMS Chief for 12 years. He went on to serve as Fire 
Chief from 1987 to 1989 before transitioning to elected official to 
serve on the Miami Township Board of Trustees.
  During his time as trustee, Mr. Humphrey helped facilitate profound 
change in Miami Township. He improved Fire and EMS services, police 
services, established a first-class park system, and more.
  Beyond his government roles, Mr. Humphrey devoted countless hours to 
a variety of community programs: coaching youth sports, serving as 
President of the Clermont County Township Association and Chairperson 
of the Clermont County Health District Advisory Council, and joining 
his local masonic lodge, Milford Lodge 54 F. & A.M.
  It is a privilege to know Mr. Humphrey, not only because of his 
incredible service to our community, but also as a friend. He has led a 
life of service devoted to his commitment to leave his community better 
than he found it.
  I wish Mr. Humphrey the best on his well-deserved retirement. I know 
I can speak on behalf of myself and the Clermont County community when 
I say we are grateful for his many years of service.
