                  IN MEMORY OF KENNETH GEORGE MASSREY

  (Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory 
of Kenneth George Massrey, a dear friend who passed away on Sunday, 
October 25, 2015, at the age of 66.
  Ken was a loving husband, father, brother and grandfather. He lived 
in San Juan Capistrano, California, where he was a successful 
entrepreneur, an avid sports fan, and a generous contributor to 
charity.
  The oldest of five children, Ken was born in Warwick, Rhode Island, 
and, at the age of six, his family moved to California.
  Ken received a scholarship to UCLA, where he was a catcher for the 
Bruins baseball team. He later graduated from Cal State Long Beach.
  His professional career began at a California video security products 
firm, and in 1989, Ken launched his own company in Irvine, California, 
where he served as CEO for 26 years.
  Ken is survived by his wife, Barbara; his daughters, Katie and 
Chrissie; his grandson, Griffin; his son-in-law, Ryan Downey; and his 
four siblings.
  I am honored to have had the privilege of calling Ken a friend. I 
have very fond memories of our political discussions, and they were 
dynamic.
  He will be deeply missed by all those who knew him, and his memory 
will live on.
