                        Thursday, August 2, 2012

  Mr. CANSECO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Chad 
Foster. Chad passed away this past Saturday after a battle with cancer 
at the age of 63. He is survived by his wife Jill and their son Chad 
Jr. and daughter Savannah.
   Chad was a true public servant, who will be remembered as a 
committed leader and strong supporter of the Eagle Pass community. 
After serving three terms as Eagle Pass mayor, Chad went on to serve 
the community by leading numerous local and state organizations, 
including as the chairman of the Texas Border Coalition.
   Chad was passionate about the advancement of our border communities. 
He focused his life on encouraging education, border security, health 
care, and other development programs that supported the people of South 
Texas. Chad will be sorely missed in our community, but his passion and 
legacy will certainly live on.
