                         Tuesday, June 12, 2018

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in solemn remembrance of the 
life of Mr. Benjamin Henry Bascum Hubbard, or ``B.H.'' as he was 
affectionately known. B.H. served as a dedicated lawyer in the Northern 
Neck, and was a tireless advocate for his community as a member of 
numerous boards and organizations that greatly benefited the region.
  B.H. was born January 19, 1946 in White Stone, a small town in 
Virginia's Tidewater. He graduated from the University of Virginia with 
a degree in English and earned his J.D. from the University of South 
Carolina. He was a founding member of the firm Hubbard, Terry, and 
Britt, in Irvington, and demonstrated total dedication to his clients 
through his work. Beyond his firm, B.H. was always striving to improve 
the quality of life for his neighbors and the community he loved 
dearly. Most notably, he was chairman of the board of Rappahannock 
General Hospital and a member of the Board of Directors of Chesapeake 
Health Services. He also served on the Board of Directors for Bon 
Secours Richmond Health System. One of his greatest achievements was 
the successful merger of Rappahannock General Hospital with Bon 
Secours. Beyond his work, he was known by all for his compassion, his 
deeply caring spirit, and his incredible capacity for service.
  I am fortunate to have called B.H. a friend and I extend my deepest 
condolences to his wife of over 50 years, Terry; daughters Emory and 
Elizabeth; son, Beau; and the rest of his family. B.H. leaves a lasting 
legacy in the Northern Neck that has been felt by all of its residents. 
As it says in the book of Matthew, ``Well done, thou good and faithful 
servant: thou has been faithful over a few things, I will make thee 
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.''
  Mr. Speaker, I implore you and my colleagues to join me as we honor 
the memory of Mr. B.H. Hubbard.
