[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 152 (2006), Part 8] [Senate] [Page 10921] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING THE LIFE OF JERRY W. LEE Mr. BAYH. Mr. President, today I rise to pay tribute to the life of a distinguished civil servant and friend, Jerry W. Lee, who passed away on June 7. Jerry's dedication to the working families of our State kept him involved in public service up until his death, doing his part to help Hoosiers from all walks of life. I know that he will be greatly missed. Jerry was a good and decent man who dedicated his life to serving others. From his work with organized labor to his involvement in the community, his career was filled with acts of conscientious service on behalf of friends, family members, and Hoosiers across Indiana. The contributions he made touched countless lives, and his presence and straight talk will be sorely missed. For the past 20 years, Jerry served as secretary-treasurer and business manager of the Laborers' Indiana District Council, standing up for the working men and women of our State. He devoted all of his energy to ensuring good jobs at decent wages for his workers and helping take care of their families. He is survived by his mother; his wife, Benetta Jo Woodruff Lee; his son, Darren Lee; his three daughters, Stephanie Bean, Christina Brown and Connie Phillips; his two brothers, Sammy Joe Lee and Donald Dean Lee; 11 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. A lifelong Hoosier, he was also involved in numerous other labor associations and was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. It is a rare man who can make such an impact on so many people over the course of one life. Hoosiers will miss Jerry as a friend, a community leader, and an advocate for working Hoosiers. It is my sad duty to enter the name of Jerry Lee in the official Record of the U.S. Senate for his service to the State of Indiana. ____________________
