“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Glen McCall of Ottumwa, Iowa. Glen passed away peacefully on March 2 at Ottumwa Regional Health Center following a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis. A native Iowan and an Army veteran, Glen and his wife, Kay, lived in Iowa for almost 60 years. He worked at CSI in Humeston as a radio technician for years and then worked as a farmer in Leon before moving to Ottumwa as an entrepreneur to open McCall Communications, a two-way radio sales and service shop. Glen and Kay ran the store for almost 40 years. Glen was always happy to give his neighbors a helping hand and was a longtime member of the Rotary Club of Ottumwa, serving as secretary for decades. His kindness, compassion, humor, and ever-ready smile were appreciated by all those whom he encountered. Glen dedicated his life to serving and helping the community he loved and making Ottumwa the best place to live, work, and raise a family. Glen's wife, Kay, their children, four grandchildren, six great- grandchildren, and all his loved ones are in my prayers. I would also like to extend a joyful, happy 25th birthday to Caroline and Charlie Kiley. We also stand with Ukraine. ____________________”
