ON THE PASSING OF FORMER RAMSEY COUNTY COMMISSIONER HAL NORGARD -- (Extensions of Remarks - September 09, 2004)

Ms. MCCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dear friend of mine, former Ramsey County Commissioner Hal Norgard.

Hal Norgard passed away on the morning of August 8th while I was traveling with a congressional delegation in Iraq.

Hal was a wonderful man and friend. He was a man of boundless energy and a great heart. Most of all, I remember him as a person who loved his community like it was his family-because it was for him.

Hal's work on the Ramsey County Board helped so many people, most of whom will never know how this very special man worked so hard to provide them with the opportunities they needed to improve their lives.

Hal was a friend, leader, volunteer, director, developer, teacher, and coach. Everyone who knew him loved him. I have many fond memories of him. We all have our own Hal story.

Hal, I will always remember you for your selfless service.

Hal, I will miss you.
