                         TRIBUTE TO GARY GLOVER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARION BERRY

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 10, 1999

  Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great Arkansan, a man 
who served his community as a minister of youth and music, and who was 
a devoted father and husband, Mr. Gary Glover.
  Mr. Glover spent much of his life as a dedicated church member, 
sharing his faith and

conviction in God with others. He received his ministry license in 1988 
after attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort 
Worth, Texas, and served Levy Baptist Church in North Little Rock at 
this time. Before settling in Arkansas, Mr. Glover served as director 
of housing and Christian training at Happy Hill Farm Academy and Home 
in Granbury, Texas. Here he supervised Southwestern Baptist Theological 
Seminary students. After Mr. Glover came to Arkansas he served as youth 
minister at Sylvan Hills First Baptist Church in North Little Rock.
  Clearly, Mr. Glover was a caring and giving man. Even after his 
passing, Mr. Glover continues to give through the donation of his 
organs. His family, including his wife, Becky, and his three sons, 
Drew, Daniel, and D.J., decided Mr. Glover would have wanted to 
continue helping others and felt this donation is something he would 
have wanted.
  Gary Glover was a man of great influence and inspiration for many. He 
was a strong voice for the Christian community in Arkansas and 
elsewhere. May we attempt to live our lives as generously as he.
