  Mr. WESTMORELAND. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay respect to 
Fayetteville, Georgia's Milton Clowers, who passed away last week. A 
good friend to many, he leaves behind his wife Randi and loving 
children: son Eric and his wife Amy and a daughter, Cameron. His 
extended family included several brothers and sisters who preceded him 
in death and four brothers and two sisters who survive. Probably most 
special to him were his five grandchildren--Gracelyn, Reginald, Khalil, 
Tyler and Gabrielle.
  Milton was a good friend to me, having known him both personally and 
professionally. He was born in Tennessee and attended Tennessee State 
University. Milton pursued a career in the electrical industry, which 
brought him to Atlanta where he was accepted into the International 
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 613/National Electrical 
Contractors Apprenticeship program.
  Milton worked hard and diligently to excel in the electrical 
industry. From the early days at Grove Park Electric to Dixie Electric 
Company--where he helped bring on Yukon Electric as a joint venture 
partner for projects for Delta Air Lines--Milton enjoyed a successful 
career. The highlight of his career was making UpTime Electric the 
successful electrical contracting firm it is today.
  Milton also served on several industry boards including the Atlanta 
Electrical Contractors Association where he was a President, Governor 
and Chairman.
  Career and community work are important, but a man is only as good as 
the family and friends who support him. Fortunately, Milton was blessed 
with an abundance of both. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, 
brother and friend. He was a strong, multitalented and compassionate 
man who gave so much to so many. I am proud to speak about him today 
and honor his life and contribution.
