  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker I rise today to honor the life of a local 
community leader and retired Chief of Police, Robert Franklin Pasero.
  Bob Pasero was always an active member in the community of Orland. I 
had the privilege of meeting Bob when he was serving as the Orland 
Chief of Police from 2004 to 2010, and upon his retirement celebration. 
Bob was a role model for many in the City of Orland because of his 
interactions and care for the people around him and the good humor he 
brought with it. As the Chief of Police, he always led people in the 
right direction with his fatherly attitude and compassion. Bob was 
respected and loved by the people around him.

  You would also find Bob doing the announcing at the local Glenn 
County Fair parade each year, having something encouraging to say about 
each entry as he knew just about each one personally.
  After Bob retired as Chief of Police, he did not let that stop him 
from serving his town. He wanted to honor those who served our country 
so he assisted in facilitating the Motor-Icicle Run in honor of 
Orland's veterans.
  As a minister of his church, Victory in Christ Community Church, Bob 
mentored and married many young couples. Bob also organized events for 
his church such as the Annual Soup Bowl where once a year he and his 
church would make and serve food to the homeless in the community. Bob 
also had a passion for music and used his talent to serve God as the 
leader of the Victory in Christ Community Church worship band. Bob 
counted himself as a ``prayer warrior'' constantly asking for prayer 
through social media and personally for people he knew of in need, 
touching many lives with his strong faith .
  Bob Pasero passed away on July 25, 2018 after a hard fought battle 
with cancer. He will always be remembered by his family and neighbors 
for his contagious love for life and for others that he so gladly 
served.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Robert Franklin Pasero for 
his commitment and service to the community of Orland.
