  Ms. ESHOO. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the very well-lived life of 
Malcolm Hardy Dudley who died on February 10, 2021 at home in Atherton, 
California, with his wife of 67 years, Cosette. He was born in Santa 
Cruz, California, to Allen Mason Dudley and Gladys Alda Hardy Dudley.
  Malcolm Dudley was a graduate of the University of California, Davis, 
and studied at the London School of Economics. He served his country in 
the U.S. Navy for three years on active duty and for another three 
years as a communications officer for the U.S. Naval Command Europe. He 
retired from the Naval Reserves as a captain in 1982.
  Malcolm Dudley's life was full and varied and he has been described 
as affable, cheerful, and relaxed, traits he combined with tremendous 
energy and efficiency. He began his career as a financial advisor in 
1962 and retired in 2017, two weeks before his 85th birthday. He had a 
great interest in the environment and traffic congestion which led to 
his interest in local government. He served on the Atherton City 
Council for 24 years, six of them as Mayor. He was a champion of public 
transportation and he was known as the resident guru on regional 
transportation issues.
  Malcolm had a passion for boating and water-skiied on Lake Tahoe, 
often sailing his 70-foot motor cruiser up the Pacific coast to 
Washington and Canada. He loved music and played jazz saxophone, and 
had a popular dance band in the 50's, and played with the Unicorns 
swing band until this year.
  Malcolm leaves his wife Cosette and his daughters, Lynette Stebin and 
Virginia Rock, two grandchildren and countless friends, all of whom 
benefitted from his generosity and kindness. I consider myself 
privileged to have been among his wide group of friends.

  Madam Speaker, I ask the entire House of Representatives to join me 
in honoring the life of Malcolm Dudley, a great and good man who was a 
true patriot, and in extending our condolences to his wife and his 
entire family. His was a life well-lived, one filled with generosity, 
public service and care for others. He bettered our community and 
strengthened our country.
