  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the passing of 
Mr. James Gregory ``Greg'' Lewis of Reedville, Virginia on March 30th, 
2017. Greg is survived by his wife, Donna Garber Lewis; two daughters, 
Kelly Lewis Minor, of Reedville, Virginia, and Amanda Lewis Stalnaker 
of Tappahannock; two brothers, Evans Lewis (Faye) and Larry Lewis 
(Janet); two sisters, Barbara Lewis Schools and Janice Lewis Zumot, and 
four much-loved grandchildren, Corrie Minor, Cameron Minor, Jaxen 
Stalnaker and Brent Stalnaker and many nieces and nephews.
   Greg graduated from Rappahannock High School in 1970 and from 
Smithdeal Business College in Richmond. He served the Virginia Army 
National Guard for six years. Greg established Little River Seafood in 
1983 as an oyster and crab picking facility. With a strong 
entrepreneurial spirit, Greg grew the operations into an importer and 
distributer of his crabmeat and products and, eventually, included 
value-added products as well. Greg proudly served on the Richmond 
County School Board for 15 years. He was a Deacon and Trustee of 
Bethany Baptist Church in Callao, Virginia and was a member of The 
Gideons International. Greg also served as a member on the Virginia 
Seafood Council.
   I had the pleasure of knowing Greg for many years and know his 
service to this nation and dedication to his community and church have 
impacted countless lives. Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in 
recognizing the life and honoring the memory of James Gregory ``Greg'' 
Lewis.
