  Mr. GARAMENDI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
lasting contributions of Eric Michael Pomeroy.
  Passing away far too soon at the age of 54, Mr. Pomeroy leaves behind 
an indelible legacy in the education and wider community in Yuba City.
  Mr. Pomeroy was a lifetime resident of the Yuba-Sutter community who 
served his community with sincere devotion and joy. Mr. Pomeroy devoted 
24 years of his life to education including 10 years as a teacher for 
CTE, Academic, and Alternative Education, and 14 years as an 
educational administrator. As the Assistant Superintendent of Career 
and Adult Education for the Sutter County Superintendent of Schools, 
Mr. Pomeroy oversaw Sutter County One Stop, Tri-County ROP, Sutter 
County Adult Education, and North Central Counties Consortium. 
Throughout his career, Mr. Pomeroy worked ceaselessly to create 
opportunities for students and provide a supportive environment for 
educators.
  Mr. Pomeroy was a lifelong volunteer across the Yuba-Sutter 
community. He served as a board member of Yuba-Sutter-Colusa United Way 
and was a former member of the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs. His passion 
for swimming led him to serve as not only the President and Head Coach 
of Sutter Buttes Swimming, but also a Special Olympics Swim Coach. Mr. 
Pomeroy also served as a CCA official for Sierra Nevada and officiated 
for the CCA swim

team in Roseville. In all these endeavors, Mr. Pomeroy believed in 
finding the joy and humor in life--always searching to do what was 
right.
  Mr. Pomeroy is survived by his wife of 15 years, Daniela, and two 
loving daughters, Erica and Gianna. His family and the Yuba-Sutter 
community will dearly miss his joyful and adventurous spirit. I would 
like to extend my deepest sympathies to Mr. Pomeroy's loved ones. I 
know that they, along with the entire Yuba-Sutter community, join me in 
celebrating his life and legacy.
