  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, on March 10, 2011, Alfred ``Al'' 
Klingenfus of Crestwood, Kentucky passed away after a lifetime of 
humbly serving the people of Oldham County.
  Mr. Klingenfus was born in 1918 in Crestwood, and graduated from 
Crestwood High School.
  In addition to being a lifelong dairy farmer, he served for decades 
on the Oldham County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation 
Service Committee and the Oldham County Zoning Appeals Board. He also 
played a key role in establishing the Oldham County Water District.
  In 2008, Mr. Klingenfus was named one of the county's ``Living 
Treasures'' by the Oldham Era newspaper and the Oldham County 
Historical Society.
  He was the loving husband of his wife, Etta, for more than sixty-six 
years, the father of five sons, the grandfather of eleven, and the 
great-grandfather of twelve.
  Our thoughts and prayers are with Al's extended family and his many 
friends as they mourn his loss and celebrate his life.
