                        Friday, November 4, 2011

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the extraordinary 
life of Robert Alan Duggan, and to mourn him upon his passing at the 
age of 46.
  Born in Livonia, Michigan on February 23, 1965 to Patrick and Joan 
Duggan, Bob was a

classmate and fellow graduate of the class of 1983 from Detroit 
Catholic Central High School. He went on to attend the Adrian College, 
earning a Bachelor's Degree in Business/Broadcasting. While attending 
Adrian College he became a member of this nation's oldest and largest 
professional business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi. Bob joined the 
Screen Actors Guild in 1997.
  A true son of Livonia, Bob Duggan was born at St. Mary's Hospital, 
and there the incredibly benevolent heart that led him to donate more 
than 120 pints of blood to the Red Cross in his lifetime stopped 
beating. Bob was a long time member of St. Aidan Catholic Church, where 
he had served as an altar boy and faithfully attended every Sunday. He 
was a realtor who loved the Detroit area, and an avid sports fan.
  Regrettably, on November 3, 2011, Robert Duggan passed from this 
earthly world to his eternal reward. He is survived by his beloved 
parents, Patrick and Joan, and his brothers Michael, Daniel, James, and 
Timothy. Bob was a devoted uncle, and will long be remembered by 13 
nieces and nephews.
  Mr. Speaker, Robert Duggan is remembered as a dedicated son, devoted 
brother, loving uncle, and a true friend. Bob was a man who deeply 
treasured his family, friends, community, and his country. Today, as we 
bid Robert Duggan farewell, I ask my colleagues to join me in mourning 
his passing and in honoring his devotion to our country and community.
