  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of 
Mr. Lowell Miller of Hope, Ind. Mr. Miller was the owner of Hope 
Hardwoods Inc. and a partner in Hope Warehouse. He passed away on March 
14, 2012, following a tragic logging accident.
  He was a former president of the Indiana Forestry Council and past 
board member of the Indiana Hardwood Lumberman's Association (IHLA). 
Mr. Miller earned the prestigious Legacy Award from the IHLA.
  Mr. Miller was an active member of the St. Louis Crossing Baptist 
Church. He also was dedicated to his community, serving as treasurer of 
the Hope Lions Club, president of the Hope Town Council, and a member 
of Hope Economic Development Board. He was a founding donor of the 
Hawcreek-Flat Rock Area Endowment Fund.
  He loved spending time with his family and friends, and he leaves 
behind a wonderful wife, Kim, loving children, grandchildren, and 
great-grandchildren. He enjoyed camping and four-wheeling, reading 
history books, and riding his motorcycle.
  Mr. Lowell Miller's involvement in the Hope community and his 
generosity will not be forgotten. I offer my most sincere condolences 
to his wife and family as they mourn his passing.
