HONORING ANTHONY WHITE
(Mr. MOORE of Utah asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MOORE of Utah. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my sympathies to
the family and friends of Anthony White for the tragic loss of their
father, husband, friend, and coach.
My remarks will be particularly directed to Anthony Jr. and Olivia
Grace.
I met their father 25 years ago this very week when I actually voted
for him to be the next Wendy's High School Heisman recipient, an award
given to members of the community that excelled in athletics,
academics, and citizenship.
He then later went on to play University of Utah football, and his
crowning achievement was taking a school that hadn't seen success for
years and turn it into a championship team in Buena Park in southern
California, most recently creating that same type of success for Santa
Ana Junior College.
Anthony was an incredible human being that will leave a legacy that
is beyond description. I hope they can always remember what he has done
for not only them as his dad but every community and every person he
has touched. We are all better for knowing Anthony. Losing him has been
tragic.
We want San to know that her husband has touched so many of us, and
we want to just share with her that we will be here for her after his
passing.
We offer our prayers and condolences to his entire family.
