                      Wednesday, October 30, 2019

  Mr. KATKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Donald J. 
Winn, who passed away on October 17, 2019, at the age of 90. A veteran, 
loving husband, father, and grandfather, Donald Winn will be dearly 
missed by his family and community.
   A graduate of Searles High School in Massachusetts, Donald Winn 
enlisted in the U.S. Army following his graduation and proudly served 
his county in the Korean War. After the war, Donald Winn returned home 
and worked for the Friendly's Corporation for 32 years, eventually 
retiring as a District Manager.
   Donald Winn was married to his wife Maurita for 60 years, and 
together, they have 5 children and 12 grandchildren. He was known for 
his commitment to his family and his love for family-time. An avid 
University of Connecticut Women's Basketball fan, Donald Winn would 
often take his grandchildren to games, even attending several NCAA 
Final Four contests. Additionally, Donald Winn treasured the beach, 
especially enjoying family vacations to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
   Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me in 
honoring the life of Donald J. Winn. A devoted family-man and veteran, 
Donald Winn's legacy will always be remembered and cherished. I 
encourage my colleagues to keep his family in their prayers during this 
truly difficult time.
