                REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF RICHARD GERMOND

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life and legacy of 
longtime Lenawee County Sheriff Richard Germond, who sadly passed away 
Wednesday morning at 90 years of age.
  Sheriff Germond joined the department when he was 21 years old and 
ultimately served as Lenawee County Sheriff for 36 years, making him 
Michigan's longest serving sheriff. He also was a member of the Lenawee 
Intermediate School District Board of Education for 25 years, 
supporting students in our community.
  Sheriff Germond is a hero in every sense of the word and will be 
remembered as a model sheriff and a leader to many.
  Mr. Speaker, Sheriff Germond was a prominent member of the Lenawee 
community, and we honor him for his service and commitment to keeping 
us all safe. He will be sorely missed, and his impact on our community 
will be felt for generations to come.
