                   HONORING THE LIFE OF MILES TAYLOR

  (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life and legacy of 
Miles Taylor, a cherished leader and beloved member of the Nyack 
community, who passed away suddenly at the age of 60.
  A 1982 graduate of Nyack High School, Miles dedicated over 25 years 
as the school's track and cross country coach, mentoring countless 
student athletes, and leaving an enduring mark on their lives.
  Just this past October, he was inducted into the Nyack High School 
Athletic Hall of Fame, a testament to his exceptional contributions to 
the school and its athletic programs.
  Beyond his commitment to athletics, Miles served his community as a 
lifelong member of the Nyack Fire Department, joining at just 16 years 
old and eventually rising to the rank of chief.
  His dedication to public service, both on and off the track, 
exemplified the spirit of selflessness and leadership. Miles Taylor's 
sudden passing is a profound loss for the entire Rockland County 
community. May his memory be a blessing to those who knew him, 
especially his family, his student athletes, and the Nyack community.
