Mr. Speaker, today, we remember Robert ``Bob'' Ramirez, a devoted Angeleno and founding member of the El Rio Veterans Collaborative, who passed away at 78. Graduating from Cathedral High School, Bob served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam war, earning the Air Force Commendation Medal. Following his military service, he dedicated over 30 years to the IBEW as general chairman. He earned a degree from the California State University, Los Angeles and taught at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. Bob's impact extended beyond his professional and academic endeavors. He played a crucial role in the El Rio Veterans Collaborative, changing the lives of people across our district. Bob is survived by his wife, Caroline, and their two children. Let us honor his life of service and leadership and remember his impact on our community and the United States of America. ____________________
