  Mr. FARR. Ms. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Santa Cruz 
County Deputy Sheriff George ``Tony'' Jack who served 28 years in local 
law enforcement. Tony was born in Los Gatos, California and spent most 
of his life in Santa Cruz County, attending Soquel High School and 
Cabrillo College.
  Tony was involved in the 4-H and the Santa Cruz County Fair and 
enjoyed teaching at Cabrillo College as well as counseling troubled 
youth, spending time with the elderly, and assisting the homeless. He 
was known for treating others with dignity and respect and knew early 
in life that he was destined to have a career in law enforcement.
  Tony had a variety of assignments throughout his career, having 
worked as a patrol officer, gang investigator, field training officer, 
SWAT member, and an instructor for driving and the safe use of 
firearms. Most recently Tony was pleased to serve as Superior Court 
Bailiff for the Honorable Judge Timothy Volkmann.
  Tony was a devoted husband and father, often bragging about his three 
sons, Gavin,

Owen, and Kyle, and his significant other, Narine. The entire Santa 
Cruz Sheriff's Office and its extended family mourn the loss of Deputy 
Tony Jack, and the entire community of Santa Cruz share in the sadness 
felt by the Jack family.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay respects to Tony and his commitment 
to community service and family, and I wish his family peace and solace 
during this difficult time.
