                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 8, 2003

  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Judge Larry Kinnaird, 
who died on November 24, 2003 at the age of 63. Judge Kinnaird, born in 
Ashley County, was a close personal friend, and I am deeply saddened by 
his tragic death. I wish to recognize his life and achievements.
  Judge Kinnaird spent his entire life in Ashley County. Graduating 
from Hamburg High School in 1958, Judge Kinnaird worked for Georgia 
Pacific Corporation for 26 years. In the 1960s, he served as Justice of 
the Peace for six years. In his free time, Judge Kinnaird enjoyed both 
hunting and fishing.
  Most recently, Judge Kinnaird was elected to the post of Ashley 
County Judge, and served as County Judge for nearly five years. During 
this time, he was a member of the Arkansas Judges Association and 
served on the Southeast Arkansas Judges Association Executive 
Committee. Judge Kinnaird was also actively involved in the SEARK 
Economic Development District.
  My heart goes out to his wife of 44 years, Emmie Crenshaw Kinnaird, 
their daughters, Donna Shields and Tammy Streeter, and three 
grandchildren, Drew Shields, and Shelby and Sky Streeter.
