                HONORING THE LIFE OF JOHN HARRY CRANDALL

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, tonight I rise to honor the life of John 
Harry Crandall, who passed away on October 11 at the age of 86.
  A University of Toledo graduate, John began a long career in 
engineering at R.A. Finch, later joining the

Lucas County Engineer's Office, where he served for more than 30 years. 
He was instrumental in work on the Millard Overpass, Dussel Drive 
Interchange, and Veterans Glass City Skyway. He helped rebuild our 
whole city.
  John, simply known as JC to friends and family, was the pragmatic 
voice of reason. He was never the loudest, but he always knew how to 
solve problems.
  John served as president of both the Sylvania Area Joint Recreation 
District and the Sylvania Metro Hockey Association. He also served on 
the board of Lourdes University, on the Sylvania School Board, and the 
Sylvania Township Board of Trustees. What a great American. Sylvania 
Mayor Craig Stough proclaimed June 18 as John Crandall Day in honor of 
his life of service.
  John was married to the love of his life, Sue, for more than 60 
years. They were inseparable until her passing in May of this year.
  John is survived by their sons: Bob, Dan, Matt, and Kevin; eight 
grandchildren; and one great-grandson. May John's precious memory 
always bring them light and comfort.
