  Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor and congratulate Gary 
Kroeschen on his retirement as Marshall County Board Chairman.
  Gary has dedicated much of his career to serving the people of 
Marshall County. Throughout his incredible career. Gary served on the 
Marshall County Board, Bennington Township Board, and Toluca Park 
District Board. Serving on the Bennington Township Board and the Toluca 
Park District Board for nearly 20 years, Gary also served on the 
Marshall County Board for 16 years and 11 of those as Chairman. He 
retired from this role on September 14, 2023, marking the end of his 
exceptional tenure serving the Marshall County area.
  Like his work serving the people of Marshall County. Gary was a small 
business owner of Kroeschen Plumbing and Heating Inc in Toluca, 
Illinois. Gary exemplifies the values of public service and hard work.
  I want to express the utmost gratitude to Gary. I am certain that my 
fellow Illinoisans feel the same pride and respect towards him that I 
do. He has undoubtedly improved the lives of Marshall County residents 
and Central Illinoisans more broadly. Most importantly, Gary 
accomplished all this while being a loving husband, father, and family 
man. I congratulate Gary, and wish him happiness and relaxation in 
retirement.
