John passed away on January 20, 2014, at the place he loved most, his farm. John was a worker and served us all.

Mercury Marine, is a division of Brunswick Corporation, that employs 5,400 people worldwide, 3,100 of whose are here in Wisconsin. Their 75th anniversary reflects their strong heritage of innovation and leadership in the marine industry and their strong roots right here in Wisconsin.
Senator Lazich, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourns, it do so in honor of Gordon Starck, who passed away at the age of 91. Gordon was an elected Alderman in Franklin in 1996 and 1998. He was also elected Mayor in 1972 and 1974.

In 2009, Justine was a Senate Scholar, who came down here like so many high school students, full of promise, full of life ahead, to give and contribute to her wellbeing. Her community is stunned and saddened by this tragic loss for her and her friend because of the way in which she dedicated her life to giving to others. A friend from Beloit College, where she recently graduated from, said she was “Born to help people.” Justine was one of those special people who even at a young age made such a remarkable difference, it is as if they had lived the fullest to an old age and that’s what makes this loss so very difficult for her mother, Mary, and her father, Gordon, and her sister. Senator Jauch hopes that they will find some comfort in this adjournment and in sharing in the respect of her contribution through life and in tribute to what she meant to the community of Bayfield, all who knew her in Beloit, and all the lives that she touched.
