                   HONORING THE LIFE OF TINO TRUJILLO

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor the 
life of Tino Trujillo. Tino was a well-known community leader in Plano 
and Dallas. My wife, Shirley, and I had the privilege of calling him 
and his late wife, Janie, friends.
  Tino was a special person in our hometown. He immigrated to 
California in 1952 and became a proud American citizen, serving in the 
United States Army at Fort Hood. In 1975, he found his way to North 
Texas where he opened his first restaurant.
  He loved to serve people, not only with good Mexican food, but giving 
back to the community that he loved. In fact, he was a founding trustee 
of Collin College, and he served for nearly 30 years.
  Tino was soft-spoken, kindhearted, and he will be greatly missed in 
Plano and Texas.
  America would be a better place with more folks like him.
