                         Monday, June 29, 2020

  Ms. ESHOO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and work of 
William A. Millichap, a native of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, who died on 
June 22, 2020, at the age of 76.
  William Millichap was a graduate of the University of Maryland and 
served his country as an officer in the United States Navy. In 1971, he 
joined what was then G.M. Marcus Company and quickly rose through the 
ranks. He became the President of Marcus and Millichap in 1986, a post 
he held until 2000, and he has been the company's Co-Chairman since 
then.
  Mr. Millichap was managing partner of Marcus and Millichap Venture 
Partners and served on the boards of Essex Property Trust and Loopnet. 
He was a Director of the National Multifamily Housing Council, and a 
member of the International Council of Shopping Centers, the Urban Land 
Institute and the National Venture Capital Association. Among his many 
accomplishments he helped launch San Jose National Bank and the Mid-
Peninsula Bank of Commerce.
  Hassam Nadji, CEO of Marcus and Millichap said that ``Bill's passion 
and commitment to providing the best support to our sales force and 
creating value for our clients were contagious and remain essential 
parts of our culture to this day.''
  William Millichap's Co-Chair at Marcus and Millichap, George Marcus, 
is quoted as saying that ``Bill was the truest of friends that one 
could ever have, and a real partner in good times and challenging ones. 
He was a unique and exceptional leader, coach and innovator. All who 
knew him would point to his intelligence, endless energy, enthusiasm, 
discipline, loyalty and competitiveness as main ingredients that made 
him the life force that he was.''
  Madam Speaker, I ask the entire House of Representatives to join me 
in extending our sincerest condolences to William Millichap's wife 
Sherrie, to their children Laura, Greg, Jeff and Stacy, and their eight 
beloved grandchildren. Our country has lost a great patriot, a great 
innovator and an unparalleled leader who made our country stronger and 
bettered the lives of so many because of everything he did.
