HONORING TERRENCE J. BOYLAN
(Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Terrence J. Boylan,
who passed away last month at the age of 85.
Terry lived a life dedicated to public service and leaving the world
in a better place than he found it. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Terry
was commissioned out of Newport, Rhode Island, and served as a weapons
officer aboard the USS Cromwell and USS DeLong after graduating from
St. John's University.
He proudly served our country in uniform and remembered the Navy
fondly as one of the best times of his life. He even married his wife,
Virginia E. Mahoney, from Cranston, Rhode Island, at the Newport Naval
Station Chapel. They settled in Barrington, Rhode Island, where Terry
served as principal of the Henry Barnard Lab School in Providence, and
later moved to Marblehead, Massachusetts, where he served as an
elementary school principal for nearly three decades.
During his years working in education, Terry left an indelible mark
on the next generation. The Boylans retired to Cape Cod, and after the
passing of his wife in 2015, Terry returned to Rhode Island to be
closer to his children and grandchildren.
I join Terry's family--Terrence Jr., Jennifer, Terrence III, and
Tanner--and his loved ones in celebrating his extraordinary life.
