  Mr. PAYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Elnardo 
Webster after his passing on March 22, 2022. Elnardo was a beloved 
School Superintendent, devoted husband and father, and a proud member 
of the West Orange community.
  Dr. Webster was born on March 6, 1948, in Jersey City, NJ. He earned 
a B.S. and M.A. from Saint Peter's University and, in 2000, he received 
a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Seton Hall University. While 
a student, he played a pivotal role on the renowned 1967-68 ``Run Baby 
Run'' men's basketball team. Dr. Webster went on to play professional 
basketball for seven years with the New York Nets, Memphis Pros, Italy, 
Spain, Switzerland, and Eastern League for the New York Knicks, In 
2018, Dr. Webster was named to a list of the top 25 men's college 
basketball players in New Jersey's history.
  Following a distinguished career in education, Dr. Webster retired as 
superintendent for Roselle Public Schools and became a consultant for 
the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education as a Highly 
Skilled Professional. Of late, Dr. Webster served as director for Saint 
Peter's Center for After School and Expanded Learning (C.A.S.E.L). He 
was a former council member of the West Orange Township Council and a 
former commissioner of the Hudson County Freeholders.
  Dr. Webster also served as a member of the Board of Trustees at Saint 
Peter's University, a member of the Trustee Board of the Ethics 
Committee New Jersey Supreme Court District VI, a member of the Board 
of Trustees of the Urban League of Hudson County, a member of the King 
Solomon Masonic Lodge No. 19, and a member of the National Sorority of 
Phi Delta Kappa Alpha Chapter Anthropos. He will be greatly missed by 
his wife Sandra Webster, his two sons Elnardo and Damarko Webster, and 
his entire extended family.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
celebrating the life of Dr. Elnardo Webster.
