  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the late Arthur 
Glatfelter, Jr. Mr. Glatfelter was a pillar of his community, a kind 
and generous man, and a leader who sought to make the world a better 
place. In addition to his work with philanthropies, Mr. Glatfelter was 
a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather.
  Mr. Glatfelter fought for his country during World War II, serving in 
the United States Marine Corps in the Pacific. After the war he 
continued his life of service. Mr. Glatfelter was a leader in many 
philanthropic groups, and served on the boards of multiple 
organizations in his community. He was an original member of the board 
of directors as well as the founding director of the Congressional Fire 
Services Institute. Mr. Glatfelter remained an active member of the 
CFSI until stepping down in 2008. Other groups he worked with included 
the Cultural Alliance of York County, the National Fallen Firefighters 
Foundation, the York Habitat for Humanity, and the Farm and Natural 
Lands Trust of York County. Mr. Glatfelter was also the founder of the 
Glatfelter Insurance Group.
  Mr. Speaker, Art Glatfelter was a shining example of community 
service and family values. He was not only a good friend of mine, but 
an outstanding friend of the emergency services and first responder 
communities all across America. He will be missed.
