                       REMEMBERING KELSEY LOMISON

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, Kelsey Lomison, 77, of 
Orviston, Pennsylvania, from the Pennsylvania Fifth Congressional 
District, died on Monday, February 6, of this week.
  Centre and Clinton Counties lost a great friend. Kelsey Lomison lived 
his 77 years serving and making a difference in the lives of 
individuals, families, and communities. He was an extraordinary caring 
leader in many facets of life, from singing for area churches, 
organizing benefits for persons and families in need, and serving 
Curtin Township and his home community of Orviston.
  As a community leader, Kelsey demonstrated a deep commitment to 
serving his neighbors. His leadership within the Howard Area Lions Club 
and the Clinton County Fair represents just two of the countless 
efforts he performed.
  He touched many lives and provided an excellent example to all who 
knew him. His determination, bright outlook on life, and phenomenal 
voice will be remembered.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Barb, sons Wes and Dave, 
and their entire family.
  Kelsey Lomison's kindness, professionalism, talent and unselfish 
service will be missed. Rest with the Lord, my friend.
