                         Thursday, June 8, 2006

  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Hugh C. 
Reynolds of Fordyce, Arkansas. Strong leadership, vision, concern for 
others, and philanthropy were enduring legacies left by H.C. Reynolds. 
He passed away on Saturday, May 6, 2006 at the age of 85, after having 
served his nation, state, and the city of Fordyce with distinction. I 
would like to recognize Mr. Reynolds' contributions to Arkansas and our 
Nation.
  H.C. Reynolds was born August 5, 1920 to the late Hugh Cleveland and 
Ruth Sisson Reynolds in Fordyce. He was a dedicated member of Fordyce 
First Baptist Church and a Shriner.
  Mr. Reynolds will forever be remembered for his bravery, leadership, 
and compassion. He served his nation as an Army Veteran of World War II 
and was a lifelong member of the Democratic Party. He also recently 
resigned as Chairman of the Dallas County Democratic Committee.
  He was preceded in death by his wife, Frances Keenum Reynolds and a 
brother, William Reynolds. My deepest condolences go out to his sister, 
Mary Ruth Creech of Camden; his son, Collins Reynolds and wife Janie of 
Bismark; his daughters, Linda Hankins and husband Troy of Pine Bluff, 
Vickie Gray and husband Paul of Hot Springs; his five grandchildren, 
and six great-grandchildren. Mr. Reynolds' legacy and spirit will live 
on in those who lives he touches.
