                   HONORING THE LIFE OF AUSTIN CURRY

  (Mr. BILIRAKIS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of a local 
hero in my district, Mr. Austin Curry, who passed away on September 18 
at the age of 86.
  Friends remember him as a ``young soul who spent days in prayer or 
sharing his sunny demeanor and faith in prolific Facebook posts.''
  With a full life devoted to God and service to his country, Mr. Curry 
was an Air Force veteran who served in the Korean war.
  As a passionate advocate in the elderly community, Mr. Curry served 
in leadership roles for the Florida Silver-Haired Legislature, the 
Hillsborough County Hospital Association, and the Health Council of 
West Central Florida. He also served as a delegate to the White House's 
2005 Conference on Aging.
  His accomplishments and the lives he touched will remain in our 
memories.
