            HONORING YUBA COUNTY SHERIFF GARY DENNIS TINDEL

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in honor of the memory of Yuba 
County Sheriff Gary Dennis Tindel.
  Gary was born in October of 1947. He graduated from Marysville High 
School in 1965 and then went on to attend UC Davis and Cal State, Chico 
shortly afterward.
  He joined the Yuba County Sheriff's Department in 1971. In 1975, he 
married his wife, Irene Chesini, and together they raised three 
children: Josh, Michelle, and Alicia. In 1990, he was elected Sheriff 
in Yuba County and served two terms in that role.
  In his spare time, he taught law enforcement classes at Butte College 
and served as assistant coroner down in Marin County.
  Even after retiring from public service, he continued to serve his 
people, his community, as an active member of the Kiwanis Club, helping 
with local Little Leagues and Boy Scouts.
  He was a devoted family man and a paragon in his community. From his 
outstanding public service to his volunteering to keep our streets 
safe, his influence was felt everywhere.
  It is with deep condolences to Gary's family and everyone who knew 
him that I rise today. This ideal American man will be dearly missed. 
May he rest in eternal peace.
