                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 28, 2010

  Mr. AKIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor John Harwood of St. 
Louis, Missouri.
  On Saturday, September 25th, 2010 John Harwood passed into eternity. 
Mr. Harwood lived an exemplary life of service. He dedicated over a 
quarter of a century to helping fellow men live lives based on 
spiritual principles. He assisted many with the development of personal 
character based on humility, faith, love and service. Mr. Harwood was 
known as a tough man, who had the courage of his convictions and unique 
powers of persuasion. Yet, he had a deep sense of service and 
dedication to fellow human beings. Mr. Harwood often stated that one of 
the secrets of life is to ``learn to love another human being.'' He 
exemplified this philosophy in his own life, every day, as he held out 
his hand to many who needed a little experience, strength and hope on 
the way to a better way of being.
   I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring John today.
