  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to an 
individual whose commitment to the Corona, California community is 
truly exceptional. Next week, on January 21, 2016, Bob Hemborg will be 
honored as a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Corona 
Chamber of Commerce. Bob has dedicated himself to the Corona community.
  Bob is the founder and owner of Hemborg Ford, a local business 
fixture. He initially purchased the Ford dealership in Corona and he 
quickly realized he wanted more land. He relocated his business to the 
neighboring community of Norco. Bob has worked tirelessly with a strong 
work ethic and business practices that have enabled his dealership to 
grow and thrive in the community. Bob prides himself on having many 
repeat and multi-generational clients.
  Family is also very important to Bob. When it came time for him to 
retire, he entrusted the day-to-day operations to his son Tor, though 
he is quick to tell you he is in the office regularly. Since semi-
retiring, Bob has become involved in philanthropic outreach and 
business-related groups.
  Bob's tireless passion for his family, community service and giving 
back has contributed immensely to the betterment of the community of 
Corona, California. I am proud to call Bob a close friend, fellow 
community member and great American. Today, I add my voice to the many 
who will be congratulating Bob on receiving the Lifetime Achievement 
Award.
