Zion Church.\n  It is only fitting that he be honored in this, the permanent record\nof the greatest democracy ever known, for he served countless others\nthroughout his lifetime.\n  Sergeant Willie James Quince was born in Valdosta, Georgia in 1921 to\nMr. Remer Quince and Helen Braswell. His family moved to West Palm\nBeach, Florida, where he finished elementary school and graduated from\nIndustrial High School. He went on to courses at Purple Kerpels School\nof Mechanical Dentistry in New York City, NY. He then studied 4 years\nat the Jones Barber School in Atlantic City, NJ, and the Interracial\nBarber College in Atlantic City, NJ, graduating in 3 years. After\ngraduation, he moved to Paterson, N.J. in January 1958 and opened\nQuince's Barber Shop.\n  He was married to Mary M.

Quince (Cora); and also now have 10\ngrandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Mr. Quince was a faithful\nhusband, dedicated father, grandfather and great-grandfather, and a\ncommitted community servant. He earned many accolades and had a long\nrecord of accomplishment as a forerunner for civil rights and a leader\nthroughout Paterson. He was a long-time member of First A.M.E.

He also served as Paterson's Fourth Ward Leader of the\nPassaic County Democratic Party for many years. He was known for his\nsuperb social mannerisms and good conversation.\n  The job of a United States Congressman involves much that is\nrewarding, yet nothing compares to recognizing the lifetime achievement\nof a giving person such as Sergeant Willie James Quince.\n  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join our colleagues, Willie's family\nand friends, and me in recognizing the late Sergeant Willie James\nQuince's outstanding life of service to his community.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2010-12-22-pt1-PgE2249-7"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1069318279623985, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
