                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 14, 2013

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of one of 
my constituents, Ken Berry of Richmond, Indiana.
  Ken was a loving husband to Debbie Berry, a vital member of my 
congressional staff who previously served in the office of former 
Representative Mike Pence. Ken brought joy, love, and laughter to those 
around him and was a wonderful partner in life for his entire family.
  A longtime member of Oak Park Church in Richmond, Ken enjoyed singing 
and gospel music. He was a small business owner and known around the 
region as an impressive auctioneer with a matching personality--warm, 
friendly, and instantly approachable.
  Ken and his family's dedication to the people of Indiana will be 
forever appreciated. I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to 
keep Debbie, son Matt, and the entire Berry family in your thoughts and 
prayers.
