                        REMEMBERING MARLIN MOORE

 Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, today I wish to honor the life of 
my friend Marlin Moore of Tuscaloosa, AL, who passed away on May 25, 
2016. He will be long remembered as an accomplished businessman and a 
civic leader.
  A native of Tuscaloosa, Marlin attended Tuscaloosa High School and 
then went on to become a student at the University of Alabama's School 
of Commerce. Following graduation, he joined the firm of Pritchett-
Moore, Inc., where he worked under its founders, Marlin Moore, Sr., and 
Harry H. Pritchett.
  Marlin eventually became president and then chairman of Pritchett-
Moore. Not only did he develop 43 subdivisions during his time with 
Pritchett-Moore, but he was involved with the Realtors Association both 
on the State and national level. Marlin served two terms as president 
of the Tuscaloosa Association of Realtors, president of the Alabama 
Association of Realtors, and served as a board member of the National 
Association of Realtors for 11 years. For his contributions to the real 
estate community, he received the Alabama Realtor of the Year Award and 
was named a member of the Home Builders Association of Tuscaloosa Hall 
of Fame.
  In addition to his interest and work in real estate, Marlin was also 
a founder of Security Bank, where he served as its chairman. He served 
as a board member of First National Bank and AmSouth Bank, and he 
served two terms on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
  In addition to his professional contributions to west Alabama, Marlin 
worked with several philanthropic organizations such as the United Way 
of West Alabama, West Alabama Chamber of Commerce, Red Cross, Exchange 
Club, the Boy Scout Council, the West Alabama Community Foundation, and 
the University of Alabama and the Crimson Tide Track Program. In 2008, 
he was inducted into the Pillars of West Alabama for his dedicated 
efforts and service to the area.
  The city of Tuscaloosa and the State of Alabama was fortunate to have 
a great businessman and civic leader like Marlin Moore, and he will be 
sorely missed. I offer my deepest condolences to his wife, Laine, and 
their children as they celebrate his life and mourn his loss.
