 HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF SERGEANT DONALD ``DONNY'' GRUNDHAUSER

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 15, 2025

  Ms. CRAIG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my constituent, 
Sergeant Donald ``Donny'' Grundhauser, who recently passed away after a 
courageous battle with cancer.
  Sergeant Grundhauser joined the Saint Paul Police Department in 1994, 
proud to serve the area where he was born and raised. Over the course 
of his 30-year career, he served in a wide range of demanding 
assignments, including SWAT, the Homicide Unit, the Gang and Gun Unit, 
ATF Federal Task Force, East Investigations as an Acting Commander and 
the Special Operations Unit. In recognition of his outstanding 
contributions, Sergeant Grundhauser received three Unit Citations, 
three Medals of Commendation, two Unit Letters of Recognition, and five 
individual Letters of Recognition.
  Sergeant Grundhauser was deeply respected by his neighbors and 
colleagues for his courage, selflessness, and commitment to helping 
others. Known to his fellow officers as ``Grundy,'' he was a mentor and 
friend to many, and he lived by the belief that it never cost anything 
to be kind. His family carries on his legacy of service, with his son, 
Nicholas, and his two brothers, Mark and Keith, also serving in the 
Saint Paul Police Department.
  I offer my deepest condolences to Sergeant Grundhauser's family--his 
wife, Kelly, and his children, Jacob and Nicholas. Sergeant Grundhauser 
represented the best of law enforcement, and I thank him and his family 
for their service to our community.
