                  HONORING THE LIFE OF FAUSTO G. DIAZ

  (Mr. GIMENEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIMENEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of my 
constituent and friend, Fausto G. Diaz.
  A fellow member of the Christopher Columbus High School family, 
Fausto was a successful Cuban-American entrepreneur and job creator 
who, along with parents Remedios and Fausto and sister Rosie, took 
their business to new heights.
  Fausto was deeply patriotic, loved this country and never forgot 
about his parents' native homeland of Cuba. He was a tireless advocate 
for Cuba's freedom and the importance of keeping sanctions on the 
brutal regime that strangles the island.
  Above all, Fausto was a loving son, brother, father, grandfather, and 
uncle who was so proud of his growing family.
  Fausto passed away unexpectedly on the morning of Tuesday, May 30, 
but his legacy lives on in his children, Jacqueline and Fausto; and 
grandchildren, Victor and Katherine.
  Rest easy, my friend.
