REMEMBERING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF MAYOR MARK MURPHY

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 188 (Wednesday, December 18, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 188 (Wednesday, December 18, 2024)] [House] [Page H7335] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REMEMBERING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF MAYOR MARK MURPHY (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life and legacy of Mark Murphy, who recently passed away. Known as ``Mr. Orange,'' Mark was a lifelong resident of the city of Orange, born at St. Joseph Hospital, and graduating from Orange High School. He served the city for decades on the City Planning Commission, the City Council, as mayor, and on the Board of Orange County Transportation Authority, all while working full time for over 33 years at Hewlett-Packard. He was everywhere in Orange. He also was a talented musician, singing in the choir at First Presbyterian Church and playing guitar at concerts in the park. Mr. Speaker, I send my deepest condolences to his wife, Vikki, and mother, Lois. I join our Orange community in honoring his memory and a life very well lived. ____________________
