                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 3, 2014

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of John H. 
Rives, who passed away on November 22, 2014 at his home, surrounded by 
loved ones.
  John was a dedicated and loving husband and father. John devoted his 
life to his passions: clock repair and restoration. For 15 years, John 
was responsible for the weekly winding of the Worcester City Hall clock 
tower. John was an avid runner, having completed 14 marathons; he was 
also the running coach at the Notre Dame Academy in Worcester.
  On behalf of the people of Worcester, I ask that all of my colleagues 
join me in keeping the Rives family in our thoughts and prayers.
