                       HONORING DOUGLAS H. CAREY

  (Mr. JOLLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my deepest 
condolences--and those of Florida's 13th Congressional District--to the 
family, friends, and fellow police officers of Mr. Douglas H. Carey, 
who tragically lost his life earlier this week.
  Officer Carey began his service with the Clearwater Police Department 
as a patrolman on December 9, 1968. For nearly two decades, he assisted 
the people of Clearwater as a patrolman, a field training officer, and 
eventually as a detective. But his retirement from police work in 1987 
was hardly the end of service.
  Following his retirement, Officer Carey served on the security staff 
of Morton Plant Hospital. In 2010, he rejoined his brothers and sisters 
within the police department as a school crossing guard.
  Officer Carey lost his life while doing what he loved and what he did 
best: protecting and serving his community. He was 70 years old.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to honor the life and service today of Officer 
Carey, who is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Jean; his son, 
Brian; his daughter, Toni; and his young grandson, Dylan.
  Officer Carey will be greatly missed, but his spirit lives on through 
the many, many lives he has touched in our community of Pinellas 
County, Florida.
