                REMEMBERING HACKETT MAYOR JEFF T. HARPER

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I wish to recognize the life and 
legacy of the mayor of Hackett, AR, Jeff Harper, who passed away on 
Thursday, November 5, 2015.
  Affectionately known as Papa Bear to many, Mayor Harper dedicated his 
life to serving the citizens of Hackett. Mayor Harper worked for the 
street department and served as a firefighter for a decade, eventually 
becoming the fire chief of Hackett. His commitment to the city of 
Hackett led him to run for mayor. He was elected in 2014 and served 
Hackett honorably the entirety of his all too short time in office.
  I am greatly appreciative for Mayor Harper's noble service to the 
city of Hackett and the State of Arkansas. My prayers are with his wife 
Trini, his three children, and all those who are mourning him during 
this trying time. I hope they find comfort knowing that he made a 
positive impact on his community.
