                        Monday, February 5, 2018

  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an individual who 
has exemplified service, loyalty, and Christian character. This week, 
Daryle L. Doden, a graduate of the class of 1968, will receive the 
Alumnus of the Year award from the Moody Bible Institute Alumni 
Association.
  I had the privilege of serving with Daryle on the Moody Alumni board, 
and I can attest to his contributions to the Moody community and 
beyond. His life has exemplified the highest level of integrity and he 
has earned the respect of many leaders in ministry, business, and his 
community through his wise stewardship of resources, relationships, and 
the opportunities that God has given him.
  In addition to being a loving husband and father to his five 
children, Daryle was a very successful businessman who founded 
Ambassador Steel Company in 1974. As his business grew to become the 
largest privately owned fabrication company in the United States, so 
did Daryle's generosity and support for charitable organizations. As 
another testament to his Christ-like character, he went on to start his 
own philanthropic arm of Ambassador Steel known as the Master Works 
Foundation, a platform by which he made a lasting, worldwide impact in 
both ministry and the marketplace.
  As a husband, father, grandfather, boss and friend, Daryle has sought 
to honor God, knowing that all his success comes from the Lord, the 
Giver of every good and perfect gift. Congratulations to my friend, 
Daryle Doden, on this much deserved and prestigious award.
