Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 119 (Tuesday, July 21, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 119 (Tuesday, July 21, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E716-E717] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF MICHAEL ``MOUSE'' MALLIGAN ______ HON. JOHN JOYCE of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Tuesday, July 21, 2026 Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to mourn the loss of Michael ``Mouse'' Malligan, and celebrate his impactful life, which touched so many. Michael was a proud Penn State employee for 35 years. He was also a devoted fan of Penn State and Pittsburgh sports, and never missed a chance to follow local teams. Michael's greatest impact on the community came through coaching. As early as age 19, Michael demonstrated a passion for coaching. The desire to mentor and impart his knowledge of sport carried through the playing years of his three sons. Over the years, Michael touched the lives of countless young athletes as a coach in parochial league basketball, Little League, and Federation baseball. Like so many others in our community, I was fortunate to have ``Mouse'' as both a coach and a mentor during my youth. As a husband, father, grandfather, coach, and friend, Michael will be remembered for the love and dedication that he poured into everyone around him. As we pause to remember Michael's immeasurable impact and influence, we also keep his wife of 47 years, Mary, and all his family in our prayers.
