                         TRIBUTE TO DARYL BUSCH

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KEN CALVERT

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 21, 2017

  MR. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
former Perris Mayor Daryl Busch, who passed away in California on 
Sunday, December 3, 2017. Daryl served the residents of Perris, 
California, as their mayor from 1999 to 2016, and he will be deeply 
missed.
  Daryl was born on January 31, 1941 in St. Louis, Missouri. The family 
later moved to the small town of Greenville, Illinois, and while still 
a teenager, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he served three years as 
a shipboard radar operator on the USS Picking and USS Bryce Canyon. 
After leaving the service, Daryl and his family re-located to 
California where he worked as a banker. A promotion to bank manager 
brought the Busch family to Perris in 1975. Following his career in 
finance, Mr. Busch owned and operated Amigos Tres Restaurant on D 
Street before beginning his service in public office.
  Daryl was elected to and served six terms as mayor of Perris. During 
that time he made a tremendous impact on the community, including 
overseeing the development of projects like the Drop Zone aquatics 
center, the Big League Dreams sports complex, Mercado Park and Mercado 
Apartments, the Monument Ranch neighborhood and Ethanac corridor 
upgrades. As mayor, Daryl was also instrumental in connecting Perris to 
the region through the establishment of the Metrolink train service at 
the city's new multi-modal transportation hub.
  I have had the distinct privilege of knowing Daryl for many years, I 
was proud to call him my friend and I will deeply miss him. I extend my 
heartfelt condolences to the Busch family, including his wife, Kay, and 
son, Barry, his friends, and colleagues. Although Daryl may be gone, 
the many life-changing contributions he made in Riverside County will 
have a lasting impact for generations to come.
