  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the dedication 
and renaming of the Whistlestop Plaza Clock Tower to honor Marvin 
Randle, who is not only the former Mayor of Irving, but also a beloved 
mentor and friend. His lifetime of service to our city spans a variety 
from his decades as a devoted small business owner, community leader, 
and public servant. I'm pleased that the Whistlestop Plaza Clock Tower 
will be renamed in his honor as a tribute to his impact on our 
community
  Marvin has dedicated his life to making our city better, always 
looking for ways to improve the lives of those around him. Through his 
small business, Irving Counter Top, Marvin created 1,200 jobs for North 
Texans, inspiring many with his entrepreneurial spirit and desire to do 
good.
  From sponsoring local sports teams and charities to serving in 
leadership roles in local organizations, Marvin has always found ways 
to embrace our community. Whether he's cooking fish fries for the 
Irving Heritage Society or flipping burgers at hamburger cookouts to 
support the Irving Police Department, Marvin's legacy will always be 
one of selfless service.
  A pillar of our community, it is fitting that we honor Marvin by 
dedicating the Whistlestop Plaza Clock Tower as the Randle Clock Tower. 
On this momentous occasion, I want to honor and thank my dear friends 
and mentors, Marvin and Bobbie Randle, for their enduring commitment to 
serving others.
