  Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the life of Mr. 
Ravinder Singh Shergill, who passed away on April 22, 2021.
  Mr. Shergill was born on September 12, 1956, in Punjab, India. At the 
age of seventeen, he immigrated to the United States and later 
graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical 
Engineering. He went on to work for National Semiconductor for more 
than three decades. As an engineer, Mr. Shergill held patents involving 
disk storage and helped create the USB specifications. As a manager, he 
admired and respected as a mentor to his colleagues. His story is truly 
an embodiment of the American Dream.
  Mr. Shergill had a great appreciation for America, but he never 
forgot his roots. He was committed to bridging the Sikh and American 
communities together and was a founding member of the Sikh Youth of 
California and America.
  Mr. Shergill is remembered as a caring husband, father, and 
grandfather with a love for books, history, music, and film. He is 
survived by his wife, Grace Rosa; his children, Simren, Kiren, and 
Kevan; and his grandchildren Leena, Mary, Samuel, and Briya.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in honoring the life of Mr. Ravinder Singh 
Shergill. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends 
during this difficult time.
