  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I join the 
friends and family of Dr. David Burr in mourning his passing earlier 
this week.

  Dr. Burr, the father of Senator Richard Burr, was a faithful pastor 
to many over the course of his decades of service as pastor at First 
Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. His was a life 
well lived and his passing leaves a great void in the community in 
which he was very active.
  During his 90 years of life Dr. Burr exemplified an ethic of service. 
He served honorably in the Navy during World War II. He shepherded the 
flock at First Presbyterian with great care and compassion. And he 
never neglected the needs and lives of those around him in the 
community.
  He was a great man who lived for God, who inspired by example and who 
will leave a legacy of love of which his family and friends can be 
proud.
  Today the loved ones of Dr. Burr are in my prayers as they grieve 
this great loss and look forward to one day being reunited with a 
beloved husband, father, pastor and friend.
