                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 6, 2017

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Paul Mundt 
of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Known in Southern Colorado as KRDO's 
Paul Richards, he passed away on December 11, 2016. Paul leaves behind 
five children and his wife, Julie Halling, along with a lasting legacy.
  Paul was the voice on five radio stations in Colorado Springs during 
his broadcasting career. Most recently, he was at KRDO where I had the 
privilege of getting to know him. After hearing of his passing, Paul's 
listeners immediately took to social media to share their memories of 
the man who played such a big part of their days and grieve with his 
family.
  Paul was known to so many around the community as a morning 
broadcaster, but he will be especially missed for his volunteer work 
outside of the recording studio. Paul never missed a moment to help 
others.
  Mr. Speaker, Paul's life ended much too early, but he truly lived it 
to the fullest while he was with us. It is an honor and a privilege to 
recognize Paul's work, service to his community, dedication to helping 
others and commitment to his family and friends. On behalf of Southern 
Colorado, and to the family and friends of Paul Mundt, I offer my 
condolences for the loss of their husband, father, and friend.
