HONORING THE LIFE OF JACK MILLER
(Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor Coach Jack Miller of Tybee Island, Georgia, who passed away on June 23 at the age of 91.
Jack dedicated his life to mentoring and inspiring young athletes in the community. Jack's head coaching career started at Vidalia High School in 1961 and would span 53 years at 11 different schools. He recorded over 700 wins during his career.
Jack was defined by his work ethic, which he passed along to his players. As a lifetime coach, mentor, and motivator, Jack earned numerous awards throughout his career, including the Nike Coach of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award and the John F. Hodges Oasis Award for his outstanding achievement in sports in Savannah.
The only thing he loved more than coaching was his loving family and friends.
Jack's positive impact on his players went well beyond his athletic fields, and I know his legacy will remain. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all those who knew him during this most difficult time.
