  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
career of James Clyde Flurry of Marysville who recently passed away 
peacefully at the age of 79 years old.
  James was an exceptional member of our community, where he spent more 
than 40 years working for the Marysville Joint Unified School District 
serving in many different capacities.
  James started his career at the young age of 18, where he drove his 
peers to school, parked the bus, and joined them in class. He always 
recounted his time as a bus driver very fondly. He went on to work as a 
teacher, vice principal, and later as a school board member.
  James originally hailed from Ukiah, California, and moved to 
Marysville early in life where he attended Marysville High School and 
Chapman University.
  In addition to working for the Marysville Joint Unified School 
District, James also spent more than three decades working summers as a 
field representative for Del Monte Foods.
  James loved helping his students, especially those who had a rough 
home life and needed additional support. He greatly valued community 
service and was a member of the Crossroads Community Church for over 20 
years. He was also an active member of the Linda Lyons Club and 
Marysville Exchange, where he enjoyed selflessly volunteering in the 
community.
  James is survived by the mother of his children, Randi Flurry; his 
children, Jennifer and Greg; two stepsons, Jon and Scott: several 
grandchildren; and his many family members and friends. He will be 
greatly missed by our community. May he rest in peace.
