                HONORING REMARKABLE LIFE OF LUCIEN MORIN

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable life 
and legacy of Lucien A. Morin, who passed away this year at 104. Lu, as 
he was known to all, was a proud World War II veteran.
  He began his public career as a Henrietta Town Justice who literally 
held court in his own home. He then served in the very first Monroe 
County legislature and as county manager before being elected the 
first-ever Monroe County Executive. He spent his entire life answering 
the call to serve.
  Lu brought practical wisdom and fairness to each role he took on and 
led with a spirit of collaboration and a belief that public service 
should uplift everyone. This was evident in his landmark Morin/Ryan 
legislation, which strengthened the finances of local governments and 
our local schools.
  Lu Morin leaves us a legacy of integrity and a deep faith in our 
community. I was honored to know him, to work with him, and to call him 
my friend. May we continue to carry his extraordinary example forward.
