                       REMEMBERING J. ROBB BRADY

 Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the life of a 
distinguished Idahoan, J. Robb Brady. I join his family and friends in 
mourning his passing and paying tribute to his legacy.
  Robb Brady is well known for his work as a journalist and publisher 
of the Idaho Falls Post Register, my hometown newspaper. Starting at 
the Post Register in 1941, he advanced in his field and served as 
publisher for more than 10 years. Throughout his career, he was a 
respected and knowledgeable voice. He earned a reputation as being a 
professional and principled journalist who was devoted to his wife of 
69 years, Rose, his family, work and community. His talent and 
dedication have been noted by many who worked with him. He was also 
known for being humble, committed and compassionate.
  In addition to his exemplary hard work, Robb Brady demonstrated a 
commitment to the community and maintaining Idaho's natural resources. 
He supported local charitable efforts, including his purchase and 
donation of the Idaho Fall's Haven shelter. As an outdoorsman, who 
backpacked and camped with his family, Robb Brady had an appreciation 
for our natural resources, and he worked to conserve them.
  With Robb Brady's passing, we have lost a kind and valued member of 
our community, but his example will not be forgotten. He has left an 
indelible mark in the lives of the many people who knew him, worked 
with him and learned from him. I extend my condolences and prayers to 
his family, friends and loved ones. Robb Brady's legacy will endure as 
a significant contribution to Idaho's strength and history.
