                      REMEMBERING JUDGE DAVID HUFF

 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, today we honor the life and service 
of Judge David Huff, whose passing on March 27, 2012 signifies a great 
loss to Nevada's judiciary. David's commitment to the people of the 
State of Nevada will never be forgotten. I send my condolences and 
prayers to David's family in this time of mourning.
  David served the communities of Fallon and Yerington for 15 years as 
District Court Judge for Nevada's Third Judicial District Court and the

recently-formed Tenth Judicial District Court. Since being elected to 
the bench in 1996, David's main priority was to maintain and secure 
justice for the residents of Churchill and Lyon Counties. Throughout 
his career, David was deeply invested in community efforts to improve 
the justice system by developing policies that promoted excellence in 
court administration.
  As a Vietnam veteran and Navy Justice School graduate, David made a 
commitment to his country long before he served the great State of 
Nevada. He joined the United States Navy and after being deployed, 
worked for the Judge Advocate General's--JAG--Corps to provide military 
individuals with legal support and assistance. David also served as a 
military judge, demonstrating his continued resolution to upholding the 
laws of our land.
  Throughout his life, David maintained a dedication to the 
preservation of justice and integrity which I am honored to commend. 
Today, I join the Churchill County community and citizens of the Silver 
State to celebrate the life of an upstanding Nevadan and dedicated 
advocate on behalf of our State.
