HONORING THE LIFE OF KEVIN HAUGH

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 95 (Thursday, June 4, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 95 (Thursday, June 4, 2026)] [House] [Page H3896] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 2010 HONORING THE LIFE OF KEVIN HAUGH (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Pearl River resident Kevin Haugh, a retired FDNY EMS captain, who bravely battled ALS and passed away last Friday. Kevin dedicated 38 years to FDNY EMS, retiring as captain after a lifetime of service to the State of New York. He was a 9/11 first responder, a member of the National EMS Memorial Service, and a member of The Four Paul Foundation. Throughout his distinguished career, he was not only a hero in the field but a mentor for those who served alongside him. Kevin was the founding member of the FDNY EMS Pipes and Drums, serving as the lead bass drummer and retiring as the drum major, in which he took great pride in service, tradition, and his Irish heritage. He was also a Fourth Degree Sir Knight in the Knights of Columbus St. Dominic's Council 5343, a member of The American Legion, Pearl River Elks Lodge, and the Ancient Order of Hibernians, where he served as their grand marshal in the 2023 Pearl River St. Patrick's Day parade. Kevin will be deeply missed by his mother, Ann; his son, Michael; and all who knew him. He will be remembered for the life he built through service, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to serving his community. His memory will always be a blessing. ____________________
