                       REMEMBERING PAUL RINEBOLD

 Mr. BROWN. Mr. President, I wish to honor Paul Rinebold, a 
dedicated Ohio dairy farmer, great-grandfather, and community member 
who passed away last month. Ohio and our Nation are made strong by 
people like Paul--men and women who have dedicated their lives to their 
family, community, and work.
  A son of Fostoria, OH, Paul lived his entire life in his community. 
After graduating from Hopewell-Loudon High School in Bascom, OH, he 
joined the U.S. Army and served his country for 7 years. During that 
time, in 1959, he married Ardith Bloom of Fremont, OH.
  Mr. Rinebold was a self-employed dairy farmer who founded PAR 3 
Farms, named after himself, Paul (P), his wife, Ardith (AR), and the 
first three (3) of what would be their four children. PAR 3 Farms has 
been recognized by both the Ohio State and the National Ayrshire 
Breeders Associations for its contributions to the dairy business in 
Seneca County. Mr. Rinebold's family farm is still in operation today.
  In 2008, the Ohio Ayrshire Breeders Association presented Paul with 
the Ohio Ayrshire Distinguished Service Award, a testament to the care 
with which Mr. Rinebold raised, treated, and bred his cows. It was at 
this awards ceremony that the association thanked Paul and Ardith for 
their dedication and expertise in the field of dairy farming. By 2008, 
the couple had attended more national Ayrshire conventions than any 
other Ayrshire dairy farm in the country, adding up to a total of 40 
years' of conventions.
  While he was not working on the farm, Paul dedicated his time to 
benefitting the community he called home. Active in his community, he 
was a member of St. John's United Church Christ in Fostoria; the Seneca 
County Farm Bureau; the State and National Ayrshire Associations; the 
National Dairy Shrine; and both the State and National level of the 
Loudon Center Grange. Paul helped each of his four children earn their 
4-H club 10-year pins in Seneca County, and he enjoyed working with 
them on their county fair projects and yearly showcases at the Ohio 
State Fair. Paul loved farming, dairying and bowling, but most of all, 
his family.
  This week--on what would have been Mr. Rinebold's 76th birthday--I 
would like to honor him for his dedication, service to our country, and 
contributions to the Ohio dairy community and his friends and neighbors 
in Fostoria community. I would also extend my thoughts and condolences 
to his family--his wife Ardith, sons Jeffrey and Michael, daughters 
Cheryl Ann and Paula, eight grandchildren, Brian, A.J., Jackson, 
Brittany, Brayden, Blake, Taylor, and Cameron, and two great-
grandchildren, Anistyn and Chase, on their loss.
  Emerson wrote ``To know one life has breathed easier because you have 
lived, that is to have succeeded.'' We have all breathed easier because 
of Paul.
