                         HONORING BOB DICKERSON

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DAVID G. REICHERT

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 9, 2015

  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life of an 
amazing Washingtonian--Bob Dickerson. Bob died of cancer last week, 
something he had been dealing with for years, but, during all the ups 
and downs, that was never what defined him. Instead, he was a champion 
for those in need. Bob volunteered with the RESULTS organization, which 
works to reduce poverty and child mortality. Bob's advocacy was 
unparalleled; I met with him many times, both in my district office and 
in DC. Each time, I was impressed and humbled by his passion for 
helping others, by his commitment to service. He had a heart for the 
world, doing everything within his power to improve the lives of each 
and every person in this world. My prayers are with Bob's family and 
the RESULTS team as they learn to live with Bob's memory rather than 
his person, and I suggest to all of us, that we take Bob's passion and 
service to heart, and put it before us as an example.
