ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RUBIO, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. GOOD MORNING, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TODAY
TO HONOR THE LIFE OF A DEAR
FRIEND TO MANY OF US HERE, ALLAN
ZAREMBERG. A TITAN OF THE
CAPITAL COMMUNITY. ALLEN
PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS A STAFF. TO
AN ATTORNEY GENERAL TO GOVERNOR
ADMINISTRATIONS AND MOST
RECENTLY AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
ALLEN'S PASSING BRINGS AN END TO
AN ERA OF CALIFORNIA POLITICS,
WHICH HE HELPED SHAPE FOR
COUNTLESS LEGISLATORS, ADVOCATES
AND STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS THE
STATE. ALLEN GRADUATED FROM
PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY,
MCGREGOR SCHOOL OF LAW AND
SERVED OUR COUNTRY IN THE
MILITARY. HIS TIME WITH THE AIR
FORCE WAS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
TO HIM AS HE FELT IT GAVE HIM AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY
AND RESHAPE HIS FUTURE AS WELL
AS EQUIPPING HIM WITH THE
NECESSARY SKILLS FOR CRISIS
MANAGEMENT, WHICH HE WOULD BE
ABLE TO APPLY SO EFFECTIVELY
LATER ON IN POLITICAL
NEGOTIATIONS. HE WAS KNOWN FOR
HIS COALITION BUILDING AND HIS
COMMITMENT OF ENSURING ALL
INTERESTED PARTIES WERE GIVEN A
PLATFORM TO VOICE SUPPORT OR
CONCERNS ON ANY GIVEN ISSUE.
ALLEN WAS ALSO KNOWN FOR HIS
DISDAIN OF PARTISANSHIP AS HE
OFTEN SAT TO NEGOTIATE
COMPROMISES ACROSS PARTY LINES
TO GUARANTEE THE BETTERMENT OF
OUR STATE AND OUR CONSTITUENTS.
HE WAS A LEADER IN COUNTLESS
PROPOSALS THAT HAVE A LASTING
IMPACT ON THE STATE AND THE
LEGISLATURE AS A WHOLE,
INCLUDING TERM LIMIT REFORM,
SOME OF THE LARGEST PUBLIC
SAFETY PROPOSALS OF THE NINETIES
AS WELL AS THE ADVOCACY FOR THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY, HE IS SO
WELL REMEMBERED FOR TODAY.
ALLEN'S PHILOSOPHY IN HIS
ADVOCACY WAS AS FOLLOWS. EVERY
BILL IS IMPORTANT TO SOMEBODY. I
HOPE WE CAN CARRY ON THIS
PHILOSOPHY IN OUR ROLE AS
LEGISLATORS BOTH TO HONOR ALLEN
AND HIS PASSING, BUT ALSO, AS WE
STRIVE TO SERVE OUR
CONSTITUENTS, OUR CONSTITUENTS
AS LEGISLATORS. THANK YOU
MEMBERS, AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
THAT WE ADJOURN IN THE MEMORY OF
ALLAN ZAREMBERG. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JOE PATTERSON,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND THANK YOU
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RUBIO FOR YOUR
TRIBUTE TO ALLEN MEMBERS. I RISE
TODAY AS WELL TO ADJOURN IN THE
MEMORY FOR FORMER AIR FORCE
CAPTAIN, PUBLIC SERVANT AND
FORMER PRESIDENT AND CEO OF
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
ALLEN'S ARENBERG, A CONSTITUENT
OF THE BEAUTIFUL FIFTH ASSEMBLY
DISTRICT. I DIDN'T KNOW ALAN
THAT WELL PERSONALLY, BUT FROM
WHEN I STARTED MY CAREER AS AN
INTERN HERE 20 YEARS AGO, THE
RESPECT HERE IN IN THIS BUILDING
WAS EVIDENT. I MENTIONED TO MY
WIFE THIS MORNING THAT I WAS
JOURNEYING IN ALAN'S MEMORY. SHE
USED TO WORK FOR GOVERNOR
SCHWARZENEGGER, AND SHE QUICKLY
REMEMBERED SOME OF HIS MANY
ACCOMPLISHMENTS. ALLEN WAS
RAISED IN A LOW INCOME FAMILY
NEIGHBORHOOD IN A STEEL MINING
TOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA. HE
GRADUATED FROM PENN STATE JOINED
THE AIR FORCE AND SERVED DURING
THE VIETNAM WAR AS CAPTAIN
REFUELING SPY PLANES, ACCORDING
TO FRIENDS CLOSE TO HIM. ALAN
DEEPLY VALUED HIS AIR FORCE.
HERE'S AFTER THE WAR, ALLEN
MOVED TO CALIFORNIA ENROLLED IN
THE UNIVERSITY OF PACIFIC MAKE
GEORGE SCHOOL OF LAW AND
COMPLETED HIS J. D. HE THEN
BEGAN HIS CAREER IN PUBLIC
SERVICE. ALLEN WORKED FOR BOTH
GOVERNOR DEUKMEJIAN AND GOVERNOR
PETE WILSON. EVEN BACK THEN,
ALLEN WAS KNOWN AROUND
SACRAMENTO AS A PROBLEM SOLVER,
WILLING AND READY TO REACH
ACROSS PARTY LINES TO BUILD A
CONSENSUS ON ISSUES IMPORTANT TO
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. HE WAS
INSTRUMENTAL IN OBTAINING VITAL
AID IN THE RECONSTRUCTION OF
FREEWAYS AND STRUCTURES
FOLLOWING THE DEVASTATING
EARTHQUAKE, AND HE LED THE
EFFORT FOR TERM LIMITS PERFORM
FOR CALIFORNIA STATE
LEGISLATORS. WHICH I'M SURE WE
ALL APPRECIATE HERE. ALAN WAS A
NONPARTISAN ADVOCATE FOR GOOD
GOVERNMENT, AND HE TOOK THESE
TRAITS WITH HIM IN SERVICE TO
SEE OF CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE. HE'S BEEN DESCRIBED BY
HIS FRIENDS AS A MAN WHO IS ABLE
TO BRING BOTH PARTIES AT THE
TABLE. A SCARY, SMART MENTOR WHO
IS GENEROUS WITH HIS TIME AND A
CHAMPION FOR THE CAREERS OF
WOMEN. IT'S EASY TO BECOME JADED
IN THIS LINE OF WORK. WE SEE SO
MANY BILLS COME BEFORE US. BUT
AS ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RUBIO
MENTIONED, ALLEN BELIEVED THAT
EVERY BILL IS IMPORTANT TO
SOMEBODY. ALLEN LOVED ALL
ANIMALS BUT HAD A SPECIAL
AFFECTION FOR DOGS. HE
ESPECIALLY LOVED HIS NEWFOUND
ROLE AS GRANDPA. I'VE BEEN TOLD
THAT ALLEN KEPT A FRAMED PICTURE
IN HIS SACRAMENTO OFFICE OF
HIMSELF AS A CHILD AND OTHER
NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS FROM THE
MINING TOWN HE GREW UP IN IN
ORDER TO IN HIS WORDS, MAKE SURE
I REMEMBER WHERE I CAME FROM.
ALAN LEAVES A LASTING LEGACY AND
IS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE, KAREN.
THEIR SON, ADAM, A GRANDSON AND
HIS SISTER, DARLENE, ALL OF WHOM
I WISH MY HEARTFELT AND DEEPEST
CONDOLENCES FOR THEIR LOSS. OF
COURSE, WE ALSO HAVE SOME GUESTS
HERE FROM THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE HERE ON THE FLOOR.
THIS IS TRULY A LOSS FOR ALL OF
US. I ASK THAT WE ADJOURNED
TODAY IN THE MEMORY OF ALLEN'S
EHRENBERG. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
GRAYSON. YOU RECOGNIZE. ON

HARD TO MISS AROUND THE CAPITAL.
PRIOR TO HIS CAREER HERE, HE WAS
A STANDOUT FOOTBALL PLAYER AT
JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL AND DIVISION

UNIVERSITY ON A FULL FOOTBALL
SCHOLARSHIP. A BRAIN INJURY
ENDED HIS FOOTBALL CAREER. HE
THEN TRANSFERRED TO U. C DAVIS
AND LATER WENT TO LAW SCHOOL AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC
MCGEORGE SCHOOL OF LAW, WHERE HE
GRADUATED WITH DISTINCTION AND
SERVED ON THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF
THE MACD GEORGE LAW REVIEW.
AFTER A BRIEF A BRIEF STINT OF
PRACTICING LAW, HE STARTED WITH
THE CHAMBER IN 2011 AND SPENT
THE NEXT DECADE PLUS AS A PROUD
MEMBER OF THE OF THE CAPITAL
COMMUNITY. HE WAS WIDELY
REGARDED AS ONE OF THE FOREMOST
EXPERTS ON WORKERS' COMPENSATION
LAWS IN CALIFORNIA. JEREMY ALSO
WAS INCREDIBLY KIND AND KNOWN
FOR HIS INTEGRITY. DIAGNOSED
WITH ALS IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR.
A MONTH. AFTER LEARNING THAT HIS
WIFE AND HE WE'RE GOING TO BE
PARENTS, TWO TWINS JEREMY
BATTLED THIS TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE
DISEASE. WITH THE SAME HEART.
THE SAME INTENSITY AND THE SAME
PERSEVERANCE THAT HE BROUGHT TO
THE CAPITOL EVERY SINGLE DAY.
JEREMY SPENT HIS LAST YEAR DOING
WHAT HE DID BEST ADVOCATING FOR
A CAUSE IN 2022. HE SUCCESSFULLY
FOUGHT FOR BUDGET FUNDING FOR A
L S PATIENT CARE FOR HIS EFFORTS
. HE WAS HONORED AT THE ALS
GOLDEN WEST CHAPTERS CHAMPIONS
FOR CURES AND CARE AS THE ALS
ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR. IN A SPARE
TIME. YOU COULD FIND HIM ON THE
LINKS, ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS AND
SWINGING THE CLUB. A FOOTBALL
FAN TO HIS CORE. HE BLED RED AND
GOLD FOREVER. A 40 NINERS FAN.
HE IS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE,
MEGAN, AND THREE DAUGHTERS,

WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE
EXPERT IN OUR CAPITAL COMMUNITY.
WHO WORKED TIRELESSLY TO ADVANCE
POLICIES THAT MADE CALIFORNIA A
BETTER PLACE. JEREMY SPENT THE
LAST 12 YEARS ADVOCATING WITH
INTEGRITY. HE WILL BE REMEMBERED
FOR BEING THOUGHTFUL, BOTH IN
DEVELOPING GOOD POLICY. AND IN
NURTURING LASTING FRIENDSHIPS
WITH OTHERS IN THIS INDUSTRY. AS
MENTIONED BY MY COLLEAGUE FROM
CONCORD. JEREMY WAS AN ADVOCATE
UNTIL THE END. FIGHTING TO
IMPROVE ALS RESEARCH AND PATIENT
CARE IN OUR STATE. HIS IMPACT IS
ENDURING. IN THE LAWS, HE
CHANGED. THE HEARTS HE TOUCHED.
AND THE COMMUNITY HE CULTIVATED

MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE ALSO TO
ADJOURN IN THE MEMORY OF OUR
FRIEND. JEREMY MURDERS AND FOR
THOSE OF US WHO KNEW JEREMY? UM
MENTIONED HE WAS SIX FT SEVEN.
HE WAS LARGER THAN LIFE, AND HIS
PERSONALITY WAS INCREDIBLE. IT
WAS INFECTIOUS. IT WAS
CONTAGIOUS. AND THERE WAS NEVER
A DULL MOMENT WHETHER YOU'RE
GOLFING WITH JEREMY OR YOU'RE
WATCHING FOOTBALL, HIS BELOVED
NINERS. HE WAS A TRUE A TRUE
FAN. HE WAS A FAN OF LIFE. HE
WAS A FAN OF WHAT HE DID. HE WAS
A FAN OF HIS FAMILY. AND I JUST
WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT ON THAT
NOTE. BECAUSE WE TALK A LOT
ABOUT JEREMY TODAY. AND HE
DESERVES IT. BUT IF JEREMY WAS
WITH US TODAY, HE WOULDN'T WANT
US TO TALK ABOUT HIM. HE WANTS
TO TALK ABOUT HIS WIFE. AND ALL
THE OTHER CAREGIVERS THAT ARE
OUT THERE. CARE FOR THESE FOLKS
TO HAVE ALS IN THE DISEASE THAT
IS JUST ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC. SO
AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS DAY
THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR
JEREMY TOMORROW. DO NOT FORGET
ABOUT MEGAN. DO NOT HAVE IT.
FORGET ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF CAREGIVERS ACROSS
THE STATE THAT WAKE UP EVERY
MORNING. AND THAT'S THE FIRST
PERSON THEY TEND TO BEFORE
THEMSELVES. BEFORE THEY GO TO
BED. THEY TAKE CARE OF THEM.
THESE ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT
ARE THE HEROES. JEREMY IS IN A
BETTER PLACE TODAY. IS LEFT TO
ALL OF US TO HELP MEGAN, HELP
THOSE THREE LITTLE GIRLS PICK UP
THE PIECES MOVE ON WITH LIFE AND
NEVER, EVER FORGET THE LEGACY.

CAPITAL COMMUNITY. WE ARE THERE

MOVE FORWARD. GOD BLESS EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF YOU. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WARD. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE TODAY TO ADJOURN
IN THE MEMORY OF MY CONSTITUENT
Ó SCHINDLER, WHO PASSED AWAY
LAST MONTH AT THE AGE OF 93
MISSION LURE IS A HOLOCAUST
SURVIVOR FROM A CONCENTRATION
CAMP ALMOST 80 YEARS AGO. SHE
WAS HERE WITH US AND HER FAMILY
DURING SOME OF OUR HOLOCAUST
MEMORIAL REMEMBERED CEREMONIES
TWICE, ACTUALLY. ROSE AND HER
LATE HUSBAND, MAX, MOVED TO SAN
DIEGO IN 1956, WHERE SHE BECAME
A SOUGHT AFTER SPEAKER WHO
REGULARLY SHARED WITH AUDIENCES
HER MOVING BUT ALSO TERRIFYING
STORIES OF WARTIME SURVIVAL IN
THE ATROCITIES INFLICTED BY THE
, AND WE WILL SHARE HER STORY
AGAIN TODAY. THERE WAS A COMMON
MESSAGE IN HER SPEECHES WHERE
SHE WOULD EVOKE THE LAST WORDS,
HER FATHER SAID TO HER AT THE
AUSCHWITZ CONCENTRATION CAMP.
WHATEVER YOU DO, STAY ALIVE SO
THAT YOU CAN TELL THE WORLD WHAT
THEY'RE DOING TO US. HER FATHER
DIED IN THE GAS CHAMBERS THERE.
ROSE WAS BORN IN 1929 AND A
SMALL VILLAGE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
IN THE SPRING OF 1944, ALL THE
JEWS FROM HER COMMUNITY WERE
FORCED TO A NEARBY TOWN WHERE
THEY WERE HOUSED IN THE GHETTO
OF TENTS ERECTED FOR FAMILIES
WHILE THEY AWAITED THE TRAINS
THAT WOULD SHIP THEM TO CATTLE
CARS IN AUSCHWITZ IN POLAND. SHE
WOULD REMAIN IN THE
CONCENTRATION CAMP FOR FIVE
MONTHS UNTIL SHE AND HER TWO
SISTERS WERE TRANSFERRED TO A
WORK CAMP. THERE THEY STAYED
UNTIL WORLD WAR CAME TO AN END
IN MAY, 1945 AND BY THEN HER
PARENTS AND FIVE OR 75 OF HER
SEVEN SIBLINGS HAD PERISHED. AS
AN ORPHAN ROWS EVENTUALLY ENDED
UP IN A HOSTEL IN BEDFORD,
ENGLAND, AND THANKS TO A RESCUE
EFFORT INTO C TWO BY THEN THE
CENTRAL BRITISH FUND FOR GERMAN
JURY THAT HELPED RELOCATE MORE
THAN 700 CHILDREN WHO HAD
SURVIVED THE HOLOCAUST. IT WAS
THERE THAT SHE MET HER FUTURE
HUSBAND, MAX, ALSO A SURVIVOR.
ROSEN MAX, MARRIED IN 1950 A
YEAR LATER MOVED TO BROOKLYN,
WHERE SHE EARNED A LIVING AS A
SEAMSTRESS. AND THEN IN 1956,
THEY MOVED TO SAN DIEGO, WHERE
MAX SECURED A JOB WITH THE
DEFENSE CONTRACTOR. THEY RAISED
FOUR CHILDREN AND WERE MARRIED
FOR ALMOST SEVEN YEARS BEFORE
MAX PASSED IN 2017. ROSE
ATTENDED HER SON'S MIDDLE SCHOOL
PLAY AND FRANK AND WAS ASKED TO
TELL HER STORY. AND FOR 50
YEARS, SHE NEVER STOPPED SHARING
HER STORY. HER FAMILY ESTIMATES
THAT SHE HAS SPOKEN TO AT LEAST
200,000 STUDENTS OVER HER
LIFETIME OVER THREE GENERATIONS.
FOUR YEARS AGO, A MEMOIR WAS
PUBLISHED TWO WHO SURVIVED THAT
TELL THE STORY OF ROSE AND
ACTION LEARN. IN ROSE'S LAST
PUBLIC, IS SPEAKING APPEARANCE
RECENTLY AT UC SAN DIEGO'S
HILLEL CENTER IN JANUARY, SHE
SAID, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW
HORRIBLE IT WAS. WE LIVED ON
ALMOST NOTHING. BUT IF YOU HAVE
A PROBLEM, NEVER GIVE UP HOPE.
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE.
ROSE WAS A STRONG, RESILIENT AND
REVERED MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY
UPON HER PASSING THE OUTPOURING
OF THOUGHTS FROM LEADERS AND OUR
LOCAL JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS IS
TESTAMENT TO THE IMPACT THAT SHE
LEFT FOR SO MANY HER LEGACY
LIVES BEYOND HER DEATH. ROSE IS
SURVIVED BY HER FOUR CHILDREN
AND TWO GREAT GRANDCHILDREN AND
ASK THAT YOU PLEASE JOIN ME IN
KEEPING ROSE SIMILAR AND HER
FAMILY AND HER THOUGHTS AS WE
ADJOURN IN HER MEMORY TODAY.
