“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the passing of a dear friend and remarkable professional, Steve Cernak. As CEO of Port Everglades in Broward County, Florida, Steve oversaw the largest expansion in the port's history and helped Port Everglades grow to become the number one cruise port in the country. He had a vision for the port, and he was an incredibly dedicated public servant. Steve loved his work, community, and family. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, and took any opportunity to share how proud he was of his grandchildren, often sharing photos of them before meetings, to which I can personally attest. His professionalism was unmatched, and I am grateful for his unwavering commitment to keeping Americans safe. Although Steve is no longer with us, his legacy will live on through the institution he helped propel into the leading port in our Nation. Steve Cernak was a selfless, compassionate, and tireless public servant, and he will be profoundly missed, but never forgotten. ____________________”
