              HONORING HOGANSVILLE MAYOR BILL STANKIEWICZ

  (Mr. FERGUSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. FERGUSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the passing of my 
dear friend and former colleague, Mayor Bill Stankiewicz. Mayor Bill 
was a staple of Troup County, and he was loved by everyone.
  Bill served his community as the city manager, a two-term mayor, and 
through his involvement on a number of boards, including the LaGrange-
Troup County Chamber of Commerce, the Racial Trustbuilding Initiative, 
and the Joint Development Authority Board.
  He was an extremely dedicated public servant, and he took great pride 
in doing the tough work to improve his community. As mayor, he worked 
to reestablish the city's finances during a period of instability, and 
he proudly worked to relocate and renovate city hall in Hogansville.
  When I was the mayor of West Point, I had the privilege of working 
with Bill on many projects for the greater good of our county and our 
cities. He was a pleasure to be around.
  My heart goes out to his wife, Mary, and the entire Troup County 
family. Bill will forever be remembered and honored for his invaluable 
service to his community and to this Nation. He will be sorely missed.
