                      REMEMBERING JERRY McCLOSKEY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
California (Mrs. Mimi Walters) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. MIMI WALTERS of California. Mr. Speaker, on May 24, Laguna 
Niguel councilman and former mayor Jerry McCloskey passed away 
unexpectedly.
  Jerry, a United States Navy veteran, continued his service to the 
military and his community through his volunteer work with Laguna 
Niguel Military Support Foundation and the American Legion Post 281. He 
was also involved in the local Rotary Club, Lions Club and Historical 
Society, and served as the president of the Orange County Watershed and 
Environmental Center.

  I met Jerry when I ran for city council in 1996, and in all the years 
I knew Jerry, he truly exemplified what it means to serve. He will be 
sorely missed.
  Jerry leaves behind his beloved wife Marilyn, his two daughters, and 
his four grandchildren. We join them in their mourning and hope that 
they can find comfort in knowing that his impact on the Orange County 
community will live on for decades to come.
