  Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory of Donald Jordan, 
who passed away on November 28th after a courageous and lengthy battle 
with cancer.
  Mr. Jordan is a lifelong Michigander born in Flint, Michigan, on 
April 15, 1943. In 1961, he graduated from Plymouth High School but 
stayed connected to his school and classmates through his leadership as 
a member of the Class Reunion Committee. In college, he was an active 
member of the Fraternity Phi Delta Tau and graduated from the 
University of Michigan in 1975 with a Degree in Mechanical Engineering. 
Mr. Jordan worked at Ford Motor Company for over 30 years, during which 
time he earned his Professional Engineering Certification. He is 
survived by his wife Alice Jordan, his sons James and David, and his 
grandchildren Maxwell, Isabella, and Josue.
  Mr. Jordan loved spending time with his family. They traveled on many 
vacations, including camping trips up North, Cooperstown, Myrtle Beach, 
Toronto, and Key West, but his favorite was the annual trip to Cancun. 
As a husband, he was deeply devoted to Alice, and they cared for each 
other through the course of their 49 years of marriage. As a father and 
grandfather, he was dependable and comforting, very involved in his 
children and grandchildren's activities, and always in the stands 
cheering them on.
  In his free time, Mr. Jordan was a band member at his church and a 
proud member of the Plymouth Community Band. He played several 
instruments, including the euphonium, and taught accordion lessons. 
Furthermore, he volunteered at the Ascension Hospital for many years, 
where he valued the opportunity to care for others.
  Mr. Jordan lived his life devoted to his family, helping others, and 
caring for the community around him. His example of love for his family 
and his community will forever be a reminder to his children, his 
grandchildren, and

all who knew him. Mr. Jordan will always be remembered for his love of 
family, spirit, and commitment to his community--all of which he passed 
down to his children and grandchildren.
