                       Monday, December 11, 2017

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize City Councilman 
Lamar Barrier on over two decades of service to the City of Concord, 
North Carolina.
  I've known Councilman Barrier for many years and I consider him to be 
a good friend. Growing up in Concord, Councilman Barrier attended 
Concord High School. He went on to graduate from the Kentucky College 
of Mortuary Science and has been a Funeral Service Practitioner at 
Wilkinson Funeral Home for over thirty years. Councilman Barrier stood 
ready to answer the call by proudly serving his country during the 
Vietnam Era.
  Over the years, Councilman Barrier has been very active in our 
community by supporting the Cabarrus County Boys and Girls Club, 
Concord High School Athletic Boosters Club, CVAN, and Cabarrus 4-H. In 
addition, he has served on the boards of Hospice and Palliative Care of 
Cabarrus County, and Community Health Centers at McGill and Logan. As 
you can tell, Councilman Barrier's servant heart never stops, no matter 
the day or time.
  Residing in Concord, he and his wife, Christine, have two daughters 
and two grandchildren. I am extremely grateful for Councilman Barrier's 
service to our community and I wish him continued success.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in honoring City Councilman Lamar 
Barrier for his service to the City of Concord.
