  Mr. SAN NICOLAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
legacy of Mr. Jon Anderson. Jon was a proud, adopted son of Guam, a 
media influencer, and a mentor to many in the community. His 
recognizable voice has been over Guam's airwaves since 1977. The bulk 
of his career on the island was spent as a talk show host, informing 
the Guam public of the latest news in our community and imparting 
wisdom at the same time.
  Jon's distinct style of journalism is easily remembered for his 
fairness and diligence. His calming demeanor as an interviewer and 
orator had effortlessly captured his audiences throughout the island 
and the region. Many listeners to his shows would tune in to his 
morning radio show to discuss various topics of interest and hear the 
latest issues impacting our home. He spent his life encouraging and 
improving the lives of those in our community and serving as a senior 
member and mentor in his profession.
  I am deeply saddened by the passing of Jon Anderson, and I join the 
people of Guam in remembering and celebrating his life and the legacy 
he left behind. My heartfelt condolences to his wife, Mahie, and their 
children, Debbie, Darren, Keoki, Maka, and Tony. Jon will be deeply 
missed, and his memory will live on in the hearts of the people of Guam 
and all those he had profoundly impacted.
