                       Wednesday, April 27, 2016

  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Dick and 
Annette Warren of Hayward on the occasion of their passing away on 
March 23 and February 20, 2016, at the ages of 89 and 86, respectively.
  After serving in the Army during World War II and graduating from 
Cal, Dick joined his father's company, Warren Transportation, later 
becoming the company's president until his retirement.
  Dick was dedicated to the Hayward community where he lived, learning 
the value of giving back from his parents. He was a member and 
president of the Hayward Rotary Club, receiving a Paul Harris 
Fellowship for his contributions. Dick was also a member of 
organizations like the Hayward Area Historical Society, the California 
Trucking Association, and Rowell Ranch Board of Directors, among many 
others.
  Annette, an alumna of the year from Holy Names High School in Oakland 
and a graduate of the San Francisco College for Women Lone Mountain, 
served as a teacher at Sherman Elementary in San Francisco. Annette was 
a member of the All Saints Parish in Hayward, hosting a Bible study 
class, the Order of Malta, where she served on projects to help the 
sick and the poor, and the St. Rose Hospital Foundation.
  Dick and Annette were married in 1956, initially living in Castro 
Valley. They later moved to Hayward and raised their five sons, Guy, 
Richard, Jr., Rex, Garin, and Rob. They loved their family and friends, 
delighting in parties and celebrations.
  The Warrens' commitment to the Hayward community was truly 
extraordinary. I want to acknowledge them for their remarkable work and 
pass along my condolences to their family and friends.
