                     IN MEMORY OF DR. PERRY INHOFE

  (Mr. BRIDENSTINE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BRIDENSTINE. Mr. Speaker, last week, we celebrated Thanksgiving. 
We gathered with family and friends to thank God for his provision, his 
goodness, and his mercy.
  But for some families, this Thanksgiving was bittersweet. Such was 
the case for Senator Jim Inhofe's family. They lost their son, Perry, 
in a tragic aviation accident on November 10.
  Dr. Perry Inhofe was a highly skilled surgeon associated with Central 
States Orthopedics in Tulsa. David Long, Central States' CEO, said:

       Dr. Inhofe was known as a very caring and compassionate 
     physician. He was the kind of doctor who made you feel you 
     had his full attention and that your health was the most 
     important thing to him.

  Continuing an Inhofe family tradition, Perry loved flying with his 
children and teaching them about flying. From what I understand, he was 
a good pilot.
  Dr. Inhofe is survived by his wife, Nancy, and two sons, Glade and 
Cole.
  I wish to express condolences to the whole Inhofe family. I pray they 
will be comforted and strengthened by the fact that Perry was a 
believer in the living Christ, who said:

       I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, 
     though he die, yet shall he live.

  Amen.
