Morelle | M001206 | morelle.house.gov | morelle | https://morelle.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | (Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle announced he delivered remarks on the floor of the House of Representatives in honor of Lucien Morin—an Army Veteran, Monroe County’s first elected county executive, a transformational leader for our community—who passed away in September at the age of 104. His remarks, available below, will appear in the Congressional Record. “I rise today to honor the remarkable life and legacy of Lucien A Morin who passed this year at age 104. Better known as Lou, he was a proud World War II veteran and the first elected Monroe County Executive. Lou was a Henrietta Town Justice who literally held court in his own home, served in the very first Monroe County Legislature, and as Monroe County Manager, and spent his entire life answering the call to serve. He brought practical wisdom and fairness to each role he took on and led with a spirit of collaboration and a belief that public service should uplift everyone. This was evident in his landmark Morin/Ryan legislation which strengthened the finances of Monroe County. Lou Morin leaves us a legacy of integrity and a deep faith in our community. It was an honor to know him and work with him. May we continue to carry his example forward.” Video footage is available and can be viewed here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
