                 HONORING THE LIFE OF STEPHEN STIGLICH

  Mr. BAYH. Mr. President, today I wish to pay tribute to the life of a 
distinguished civil servant and friend, Stephen ``Bob'' Stiglich, who 
passed away early this morning. Bob's love for our State kept him 
involved in public service up until his death, working to help Hoosiers 
from all walks of life. I know that he will be greatly missed.
  Bob was a good and decent man who dedicated his life to public 
service. From his time in law enforcement to his successes in business 
to his involvement in Democratic politics, his long career was filled 
with acts of conscientious service on behalf of friends, family 
members, and Hoosiers across Northwest Indiana. The contributions he 
made to the region touched countless lives and his presence and humor 
will be sorely missed.
  Bob began his career as an East Chicago police officer, and he never 
stopped serving the people of Northwest Indiana. It is a rare man who 
can make such an impact on so many people over the course of one life. 
Hoosiers will miss Bob as a friend, a community leader, and colleague.
  It is my sad duty to enter the name of Stephen ``Bob'' Stiglich in 
the official record of the United States Senate for his service to the 
State of Indiana. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
