                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 8, 2015

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Lucian 
Henry Frye. Lucian was not only a well-respected resident of Indiana's 
6th Congressional District, but the father of my good friend, State 
Representative Randy Frye.
  Lucian was a devoted husband to his wife of 49 years, Marjorie. 
Together, they were the proud parents of six children, grandparents of 
17 grandchildren, and great-grandparents of 17 great-grandchildren. 
Lucian was a devoted family man as well as a respected member of his 
community. As a retired over-the-road truck driver, he was a hard-
worker who spent his free time at both New Point Christian Church and 
Metamora Lodge #156 F&AM.
  It was once said that, ``What was silent in the father speaks in the 
son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.'' 
I can personally attest to the admiration and respect that Randy had 
for his father, and it is abundantly clear in Randy that Lucian taught 
him the value of hard work and the importance of being a man of 
integrity, who is committed to faith and family. Randy serves as a 
pillar of leadership in our community and has made a profound impact on 
my life personally.
  I am more than thankful for the friendship that I share with Lucian's 
son Randy as well as his wife Debbie. It is a privilege to honor the 
life of Lucian Henry Frye today.
