                      Wednesday, February 16, 2005

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise in memory of Joseph 
Clyde Robinson, who recently passed away after a long battle with 
cancer. I am honored to remember his great life today.
  Born in Statesboro, Georgia, and settled in Beaufort, South Carolina, 
Joe Robinson was a charitable and special member of South Carolina's 
Second Congressional District. His life was a full one, dedicated to 
helping, protecting, and improving the lives of those around him. As a 
Coast Guard veteran, firefighter, church elder, and Boy Scouts leader, 
Joe abided by his personal motto to ``live a life of no regrets.''
  Described as ``Beaufort County's best,'' Joe possessed a spirit and 
purpose which profoundly impacted the lives of those around him. At his 
funeral, the procession of his friends who came to celebrate his life 
and mourn his passing stretched a mile long. Joe will be greatly missed 
throughout our community. My prayers and condolences are with the 
entire Robinson family.
