                        IN MEMORY OF CHAD WARREN

  Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today in memory of 
Chad Warren, a young, thoughtful and motivated man who recently passed 
away. Chad was only 25 years old when he unfortunately lost his life, 
only months away from his 26th birthday. He is an example to us all 
because of his sheer dedication to his job and his unconditional love 
for his family.
  Working at the Goodhue Hawkins Navy Yard for the past six years, Chad 
became an invaluable employee and was also known as a friend to all. 
Hard working and dedicated are only mere words to epitomize Chad as a 
person. He started out as a boat washer and dockboy and soon progressed 
to a boat rigger and forklift operator He then achieved certification 
as a boat mechanic. Mr. President, I admire Chad not only for his 
dedication but also for the heart he put into his service at the Navy 
Yard.
  Prior to his employment, Chad was in Steve Durgan's Junior High 
Geography and U.S. History classes at Kingswood Regional Junior/Senior 
High School. Steve, a close personal friend of mine, described Chad as 
quiet, shy and thoughtful.
  At such a young age, Chad was surrounded by many close, loving 
people. Besides his mother, Linda Morrill of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, 
and his father, Paul Warren of Ashburnham, Massachusetts, Chad leaves 
his dear wife Sherri Warren and their young beloved children Corbin, 5 
years old, Shane, 8 years old, and Amber, 12 years old. Chad was 
blessed to have these valuable people in his life.
  Mr. President, to lose any life is a sad event. But to lose a young 
life, one full of energy, life, hopes and dreams is a tragedy. My heart 
and prayers go out

to Chad's family and especially his wife, Sherri, and their children, 
Corbin, Shane, and Amber. The loss of a husband and father is 
irreplaceable but Chad's memory will always live on in those who loved 
him.
