  Mr. PALAZZO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of James White

[[Page E423]]

who passed away on January 12, 2021 at the age of 74. I send my 
condolences and prayers to James's wife, Jeannie, as well as his family 
and friends.
  Chief White started with the Gulfport Fire Department in 1965 and 
worked his way up to becoming the Fire Chief in 1984. Chief White was a 
great leader and helped guide the department into emergency medical 
service delivery in the early 80's, making them one of the first fire 
departments in the area to provide such a service.
  He served the City of Gulfport with honor and distinction and was 
very well respected during his years of service with the Gulfport Fire 
Department. I know he will be greatly missed by many in our community.
  Although we are saddened by his passing, we take comfort in his 
example of a life well lived and the legacy he leaves behind. On behalf 
of the 4th Congressional District of Mississippi, we honor the memory 
of James White, a loving husband, father, man of God, and dedicated 
civil servant.
