                      HONORING GEORGE THOMAS NOLAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. COLIN Z. ALLRED

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2022

  Mr. ALLRED. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the life of George Thomas 
Nolan of Garland, Texas. Mr. Nolan passed away on August 12, 2022, and 
leaves behind a legacy that his family should be proud of.
  Mr. Nolan was born on December 24, 1940, in Bay Shore, New York. Like 
myself, he was raised by a single parent. He joined the Army as a young 
man in the 1950s and served as a helicopter mechanic in Germany. He 
later went on to be a mechanic and shop steward at several airlines.
  Later, he suffered a loss no parent should suffer. His daughter, Cari 
died, at the age of 38. After this tragedy, Mr. Nolan poured himself 
into community work, registering voters, knocking on doors and working 
to promote ``fairness and equality.''
  He devoted his golden years to strengthening Medicare.
  I was so honored to meet Mr. Nolan as part of my work to lower 
prescription drug prices. I even had the pleasure to invite him to join 
a roundtable with Speaker Pelosi on that subject this year.
  Mr. Nolan was a great North Texan, a loving family man and a patriot.
  He leaves behind his wife of 55 years, Bobbye Nolan, and his son, Tim 
J. Nolan. He

is also survived by his daughter-in-law Laurie Stone and grandchildren, 
Leah, Emma, and Nathan, as well as his first grandchild and daughter of 
Cari, Abigail Slider.
