  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Bobby 
Goodwin's remarkable life of selfless service. I was deeply saddened to 
learn of his passing and honor his memory today on the floor of the 
people's House.
  Bobby W. Goodwin was born in Flemingsburg, Kentucky on March 22, 1939 
to the late Lawrence and Edith Goodwin. He was a graduate of New Castle 
High School, Class of 1958. A loving husband, father, and grandfather, 
Bobby leaves behind a wonderful family that will undoubtedly miss him.
  A veteran of the United States Army, Bobby retired from the Ford 
Motor Company in Indianapolis after 35 years of service. He owned 
Goodwin Bail Bonding and admirably served the New Castle Police 
Department, being named Outstanding Police Officer of the Year in 1974.
  Ever active in the community, Bobby served on the New Castle City 
Council and was a member of several organizations, including the local 
Republican Party, VFW and American Legion. At the time of his passing, 
Bobby served as Head Doorkeeper in the Indiana House of 
Representatives.
  Though Bobby sadly has passed away, he leaves a strong legacy that 
will continue to serve as a powerful example to all who knew him. I 
offer my sincere condolences to his loving wife Ann Jo, daughter 
Kathie, and sons Michael, Gary, and Tony.
