                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 14, 2017

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Mr. Stan 
Simpson, a dedicated volunteer and resident of Buffalo, New York. 
Stan's tireless service is recognized today by None Like You/We Care 
Outreach and the City of Buffalo.
  Mr. Simpson is a U.S. Navy veteran and the father of two. He has 
worked for the city court as a liaison for 11 years; he advises alumni 
of the Buffalo City Drug Court and is also a patient health navigator 
at GBUAHN.
  Stan is an important leader and role model for community youth. He 
spends his weekends and the summer months working with young men 
volunteering with None Like You Outreach Program and other agencies 
that focus on children. He is always eager to teach youth valuable life 
skills all while building their confidence and character. Stan takes 
great pride in passing along his wisdom about maintaining and 
beautifying properties throughout the city.
  Mr. Simpson's help is also crucial in executing None Like You's 
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. He always makes himself available 
to aid in organization, arranging volunteers and personally cooking and 
preparing food. He is often vice chair for community meetings. Each 
week he picks up and delivers food and clothing to those in need, and 
has helped with many United Way Day of Caring projects. In 1996, Stan's 
commitment was vital to the restoration of multiple properties on 
Southampton and Sycamore Streets. Stan prides himself in the way he has 
changed his own life and encourages others to do the same by getting 
involved in the community and seeking out ways to give to others.
  Mr. Speaker, I honor Mr. Stan Simpson and his admirable dedication to 
the City of Buffalo. His commitment to our youth and the rehabilitation 
of the community is exceptional, and he is most deserving of this 
recognition by None Like You/We Care and the City of Buffalo.
