IS PUBLIC SERVICE IS RESPECTED
REPUTATION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE

MENTORSHIP OF FUTURE LEADERS.
HAS BEEN A HUGE INSPIRATION TO
MANY. TWO YEARS AGO WHEN HIS
DAUGHTER ERIN WAS NAMED ASSEMBLY
DISTRICT FOURTEENS WOMAN OF THE
YEAR TOM PLAYFULLY REMINDED ME.
THAT THE DAILY COMMUTE ABOARD
THE CAPITAL QUARTER TRAIN WAS
MADE POSSIBLE BY HIS ARD WORK
AND PERSEVERANCE.

AGAINST PASSING [inaudible]
ARM.
AS HAS BEEN SAID HE WAS IN THE

SO HE'S IN THAT CLASS OF MEMBERS
WHO SERVE HERE ACTUALLY SERVED
IN VIETNAM.
AND OF COURSE IN MILITARY
SERVICE AS MY KIDS TEACHERS
OFTEN SAY --
IF YOU STICK YOUR HEAD OUT OF
YOUR FOXHOLE THAT'S WHEN YOU GET
SHOT AT AND I THINK THAT'S
ACTUALLY A WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
TOM HANNIGAN.
AND A WHOLE CONCEPT OF PUBLIC
SERVICE.
FROM THE SEVENTIES AND FAIRFIELD.
THE MID SEVENTIES ON THE CITY
COUNCIL A LECTERN SEVENTY EIGHT
THAT'S THE YEAR THAT THIS.
THIS HOUSE LOST ITS SUIT IT'S
TWO THIRDS MAJORITY.
SEVENTY EIGHT THAT WAS YOUR PROP
THIRTEEN THE TAX REVOLT.
SO TOM HANNIGAN IN PUBLIC
SERVICE COMING OUT A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT.
ARRIVE WITH THE EXPOSURE PROP
THIRTEEN THE TAX REVOLT.
CAME HERE AND HAD TO LEARN HOW
TO BE A STATE LAWMAKER.
IN A TIME WHEN.
CALIFORNIA BODY POLITIC WAS
SHARPLY DIVIDED ON THAT TAX
ISSUE.
TOM WAS A WAS A REAL THOUGHTFUL
INDIVIDUAL COURSE HE SERVES A
CHAIR REVENUE TAX. FOR YEAR
AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.
THEN BECOMING MAJORITY LEADER.
AND I CAN SAY YOU KNOW HE'S THAT
PERSON IS FOR PERSONIFIES WHAT
WE YOU'VE ALL HEARD THE LINE
ABOUT THE DOC.
WHO IS PADDLING FURIOUSLY ACROSS
THE LAKE BUT LOOK SO SERENE ON
TOP?
SOMEHOW HE MANAGED. TO POKE HIS
HEAD IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE. TO
BE IN A TIME OF CONTENTIOUS
ISSUES.
AND YET RETAIN A CALM ABOUT
HIMSELF AND HIS WORK.
AND TO PERSEVERE.
IN PUBLIC SERVICES TO HAVE CELLS
AND REPUTATION.
SO I JUST THINK.
I WANNA STAND BECAUSE ACTUALLY
DO REMEMBER TOM HANNIGAN.
WATCHING HIM WORK IN THIS
BUILDING THE CALM HE EXHIBITED
IN THE FACE OF CONTENTIOUS TIMES.
AND GREAT ROLE MODELS TO REFLECT
UPON -- AS
WE JUST HONOR HIM IS PASSING.
M. IS AG HERE HURRY YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED MISTER SPEAKER I TO
RISE TODAY IN HONOR OF TOM HIM
AGAIN.
HE WAS TRULY A GREAT PUBLIC
SERVANT BUT ENDED IN ADDITION TO
THAT HE WAS A MAN WHOSE FAMILY
MEANT MORE TO HIM THAN ANYTHING
ELSE.
HE LEAVES BEHIND A LEGACY OF
DEEP LOVE.
TOM SHOULD TOM LOVE SHARING THE
NAPE NATURE THE OUTDOORS TRAVEL
ADVENTURES WITH THOSE WHO MET
MOST HIM HIS FAMILY.
MY FRIEND SOLANO COUNTY
SUPERVISOR AARON HANNIGAN SPOKE
ABOUT HER FATHER AS OUR BIGGEST
SUPPORTER.
WHEN SHE ANNOUNCED HER DECISION
TO RUN FOR VALLEJO CITY COUNCIL
HE WAS THERE EVERY STEP OF THE
WAY?
IN FACT ONE OF HIS LAST PIECE
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS WAS A FILL
IN FOR ERIN WHEN DEALING EVENTS
PREVENTED HER FROM PARTICIPATING
AS A CONTENT CONSTITUENT EVENT.
ONE OF HIS SPEAKING GAMERS WAS
ACTUALLY REPRESENTING HIS
DAUGHTER AT THE EVENT AND SPOKE
HIGHLY AND EVERYBODY GOT A BIG
KICK THAT ERIN WAS NO LOT WASN'T
THERE BUT HE WAS GOING TO THE
LAST.
A CONVERSATION FOR HER.
AS TOM'S SON MATTHEW REMEMBERED
HIM SELECTION OF THE SAYING 90%
OF LIFE IS JUST SHOWING UP AND
BEING PRESENT AND AVAILABLE TO
OTHERS. FOR TOM THAT WAS SO MUCH
MORE THAN JUST SHOWING UP OR
BEING OR SHOWING UP OR BEING OF
AVAILABLE SO TO HONOR TOM HIM
AGAIN.

BE PRESENT AND AVAILABLE TO
OTHERS IN THE SAME VERY
MEANINGFUL WAY THAT HE WAS.
