  Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Raymond Ralph Lochhead and remember his rich and full life.
  Mr. Lochhead was born in St. Louis, Missouri on April 28, 1923 and 
graduated from the California Institute of Technology. He founded the 
vanilla extraction and production company, R. R. Lochhead Manufacturing 
Co., in Paso Robles, California in 1963.
  Mr. Lochhead was not only a businessman and entrepreneur. He was also 
a chemist, engineer, salesman, single-engine plane pilot and traveler. 
Mr. Lochhead frequently worked with his hands--he flew planes, fixed 
cars and built the house he lived in. He enjoyed skiing, fly fishing, 
sailing, hiking, photography, painting, singing and playing the piano.
  The love of his life was Emilie, with whom he had five children--Guy, 
Louise, Carolyn, Josephine and Angus. Mr. Lochhead had eleven 
grandchildren--Raymond, Emilie, Louise, Angus, Rudy, Susannah, Jeanne, 
Jesse, Margaret, George and Henry and nine great-grandchildren. His 
family, including his brother James, were his life's driving force.
  Mr. Speaker, Raymond Ralph Lochhead loved life deeply and was devoted 
to his family and his strong Mormon faith. He is an example of how 
passionately we should strive to live life. It is therefore fitting and 
proper that we honor him here today.
