              HONORING THE LIFE OF PAULINO VILLARREAL, SR.

  (Mr. GARCIA of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GARCIA of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Paulino Villarreal, Sr.
  Paulino was a longtime city worker, community volunteer, loving 
father, and a longtime Pilsen resident. He saw the children of his 
neighborhood as an extension of his own, holding toy and school supply 
drives to help them.
  Paulino represented what the southwest side of Chicago is all about; 
hard work, humility, and service to family and community.
  Paulino left us with an important lesson: The people we help, the 
helping hand we extend, is the legacy we leave behind.
  Family and friends will remember him for his cheerful outlook on 
life, his love for the Cowboys, and Tejano music. Above all, Paulino 
will be remembered for his generosity and his love of service.
  I express my deepest condolences to the Villarreal family.
  Rest in peace, my friend.
