                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 16, 2016

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Randy Taylor who 
is retiring after more than thirty years of dedicated public service 
with the Lewisville Fire Department. Beginning his career in 1985, Mr. 
Taylor has served within the Lewisville Fire Department in multiple 
capacities. He is recognized as a dedicated firefighter and as a 
knowledgeable mentor to those who have been privileged to work with 
him. Captain Taylor has been an integral part of the Lewisville Fire 
Department, and leaves a lasting legacy of excellence and leadership.
  Mr. Taylor began his career as a volunteer firefighter and was 
eventually hired full time by the department. After serving 8 years, he 
was promoted to driver and engineer. His commitment to the department 
never wavered and after twenty years he earned the rank of captain. He 
has served at 5 of the 7 LFD stations and he retires as head of station 
four. He has been a positive influence on the firefighters he has 
worked with over the years and his service to the city of Lewisville 
will not soon be forgotten.
  I am honored to represent Captain Taylor and the city of Lewisville 
in the U.S. House of Representatives. I salute Captain Taylor for his 
exemplary career and extend him my best wishes upon his retirement and 
future endeavors.
