DIXON, MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ______ speech of HON. CORRINE BROWN of florida in the house of representatives Friday, December 8, 2000 Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I have served with Congressman Julian Dixon for the past eight years. I was saddened by the news early Friday morning, December 8, 2000, that Julian Dixon is no longer with us. My heartfelt condolences go out to his beloved wife Bettye and son Cary. He will be missed by our colleagues of this United States Congress. When I thought of Julian, I thought of him as an officer and gentleman. Julian was an officer. As an officer, he was honorable, noble, trustworthy, and a quiet commander. As a gentleman, he was a man of chivalrous and genuine qualities. Service was the guiding principle of his life. He was the eminent expression of congenial relationships, and yes character and temperament changed with every activity he was involved with. Lives touched by Representative Dixon became engaged and thereafter empathetic, kindly and honorable. He worked hard for his constituents of California. He never tired of spreading princely qualities to everyone he met. Yes, he was a consensus builder. He will be missed. With Representative Dixon, it was never about winning, but it was truly about how you managed the hand you were dealt. He was an officer. He was a gentleman. He was my colleague. ____________________ |
