  Ms. CORRINE BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to reflect on 
the life of Reverend Kenneth White.
  There are those who pass this way, and touch lives. There are others 
whose very life and living is a testament to God's teachings of love, 
compassion and service. Reverend White was this man of great character 
and strength who touched so many and cared so deeply. Here was a man 
who lived a full and rich life--rich in its complexity and the depth of 
challenges he faced; yet wonderfully abundant with the unique touch he 
so deftly applied to all his endeavors. From fighter to chaplain, from 
husband to father, from a man of God to a child of God, all of these 
characterizations are, and was, Reverend White, the man who so loved 
his people that he would give unselfishly of his time and talents for 
the betterment of mankind. This gentle man was firm in his convictions 
that no greater love has one than the love of family. Yet his love and 
respect went beyond the family bonds, and touched so many, and by so 
doing, helped generations of young lives uphold the creed of self-
respect, honesty, truth and caring for others.
  The gaze, the smile, the laugh, and the way he could embrace you and 
make you his friend, will be missed. Yet these are the very qualities 
we will cherish as memories of our dearly beloved Reverend White. Rest 
now, my friend, for your work here is done and your life shall live on 
forever in each of us.
