“Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and memory of Samuel Delug, a devoted community leader, philanthropist, accomplished attorney, and steadfast advocate for the Jewish people and the State of Israel. Sam Delug's passing is a profound loss to his family, friends, and the many organizations and causes strengthened by his generosity, warmth, and unwavering commitment. A longtime attorney trained at the UCLA School of Law, Sam brought to his professional and civic life the values of integrity, rigor, and service. Born in Melbourne to parents who were fervent Zionists, his family history was deeply intertwined with the founding and survival of the State of Israel. Sam ultimately made his home in Los Angeles at a young age, where he built a life defined by community engagement and principled advocacy. For decades, Sam Delug was deeply engaged in Jewish communal life and in support of Israel. He traveled to Israel frequently, participated in solidarity missions, and worked tirelessly to strengthen pro-Israel civic and political engagement. His involvement was never passive. Sam opened his home to host gatherings, brought new voices into the fold, and gave generously his time and resources to causes he believed in. Sam was also a committed board member and supporter of Beit T'Shuvah, a nonprofit addiction treatment center in Los Angeles dedicated to healing broken souls and saving lives through compassionate, community- based care. His advocacy for dignity, recovery, and second chances made a lasting impact, in 2018, he was honored at the organization's gala in recognition of his unwavering belief in its mission. Those who knew Sam will remember not only his dedication, but also his humor, his storytelling, and his genuine ability to forge deep and lasting friendships. He brought warmth and joy wherever he went and was known for his generosity, hospitality, and sincere care for others. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of Sam Delug as a man whose commitment to community, faith, and fellowship exemplified the very best of civic and charitable engagement. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who mourn his loss, especially his beloved children, Aaron, Asher, and Ester, and his grandchildren. May his memory be a blessing, and may his example continue to inspire them, and all of us, to carry forward the causes he so dearly loved. ____________________”

“Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Douglas M. Mancino, an esteemed attorney, civic leader, and philanthropist whose distinguished career and lifelong dedication to public service enriched countless institutions and communities across the nation. Mr. Mancino passed away unexpectedly on September 10, 2025, leaving behind a profound legacy of excellence, compassion, and integrity. For more than four decades, Doug Mancino stood as one of the nation's foremost authorities on health care and tax-exempt organization law. A partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP, he counseled hospitals, universities, foundations, and nonprofit organizations on complex tax, financial, and regulatory matters. Mr. Mancino reorganized the Children's Burn Foundation in 1995 and served for 20 years as its Chairman of the Board. He also served as Commissioner, El Pueblo de Los Angeles Monument Authority and as a member at the Board of Directors for the Irvine Health Foundation. His work strengthened the charitable and health care institutions that form the backbone of our society, ensuring they could better serve the public good. Mr. Mancino's leadership in the legal community was both vast and consequential. He served as President of the American Health Lawyers Association, Chair of the American Bar Association's Exempt Organizations Committee, and Vice-Chair of Publications for the ABA Tax Section. He was a Fellow of the American College of Tax Counsel and served on the Editorial Advisory Board of Taxation of Exempts. A prolific author, he wrote or co-authored five books and more than ninety articles that advanced understanding of nonprofit and health care law nationwide. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Doug was a devoted husband to his wife, Carol, of 52 years, and was known as ``Uncle Spice'' to his many nieces and nephews. He was admired not only for his brilliance but for his kindness. He was a mentor to many, a trusted colleague, and a friend whose moral compass never wavered. His passing is a loss not only to the legal and nonprofit communities but to all who were privileged to know him. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Douglas M. Mancino, whose extraordinary life exemplified the highest ideals of service, scholarship, and compassion. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. May his memory be a blessing and his example a continuing inspiration to us all. ____________________”
