  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor the memory of Lew 
Gaiter III and offer my most sincere condolences to his family and to 
all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
  Lew served the people of Larimer County as County Commissioner for 
nearly a decade, during which he brought innovative ideas that 
delivered lasting change. While Lew achieved many things as 
commissioner, two of his most notable accomplishments were his work in 
advancing rural broadband development, and his help in establishing the 
Larimer County Office of Emergency Management.
  In addition to his work as commissioner, Lew added tremendous value 
to his community through his volunteer work. Lew was a member of the 
Loveland Volunteer Ski Patrol for 25 years and dedicated his time to 
local churches and charitable organizations.
  I am truly grateful to have been able to call Lew a friend and to 
have observed the dedication and enthusiasm he served his community 
with. Lew was a remarkable individual with a terrific work ethic and a 
servant's heart. His passing will be felt throughout his community and 
beyond
