Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mr. Ron Plummer, Manager of Orange County, Florida, Office of Emergency Management, who passed away last week. Ron was a dedicated public servant, husband, and father. Ron served in the Army and the Marine Corps for 27 years. Since 2002, he has helped our community through countless storms and disasters. As every Floridian knows, getting through hurricanes and other emergencies requires calm leadership and deep compassion. Ron lifted the spirit of storm-stricken neighbors, brought kindness to those with special needs, and made hope a tangible presence. Ron united peers and partners to keep us safe, and shared his vast expertise throughout the State and the Nation. Ron Plummer will be greatly missed by all who knew him, and we owe him a debt of gratitude for a life well lived. ____________________
