                          HON. JASON T. SMITH

                         Tuesday, April 1, 2014

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Lloyd 
Mitchell for his many years of exemplary service to the state of 
Missouri. Lloyd retired on February 11, 2014 after more than 46 years 
of service to the Texas County Sheriff's department.
  In 1968, at age 43, Lloyd began his career in law enforcement as 
Deputy Sheriff of Texas County. In 1994, he became a bailiff in Texas 
County and held this position up until his retirement. Over the course 
of his career, Lloyd developed a reputation for conducting his job with 
the utmost integrity. His professionalism has set a high standard of 
work ethics that will serve as an example for future generations of law 
enforcement professionals.
  In addition to his many years of service to the sheriff's department, 
Lloyd is a published author and has served as a deacon for his local 
Church. His dedication to serving Texas County has helped countless 
residents, and it is my pleasure to recognize his efforts and 
achievements before the House of Representatives.
