[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 12] [House] [Page 16990] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING HINSDALE DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF MARK JOHNSON (Mrs. BIGGERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. BIGGERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with heavy heart to mourn the loss, in my hometown, of the Hinsdale Fire Department's Deputy Chief Mark Johnson. Mark's family, his fellow firefighters, and the community of Hinsdale are grieving his unexpected loss, but we are also celebrating his life as a dedicated public servant. In 1986 Mark joined the Hinsdale Fire Department and has since served as a firefighter, lieutenant, captain, and finally deputy chief. He was driven, committed to the job, and a mentor for many young firefighters. His colleagues remember him as someone you could always count on and a selfless, positive person to be around. A seasoned veteran with the fire department, Mark dedicated his career to saving lives and rescuing people from harm's way. He will be truly remembered as a hero. In addition to his work, he was loved and respected by all who knew him. The community of Hinsdale has really lost one of our own. I offer my deepest sympathies to his wife, Cheryl, and his son, Matt. ____________________
