                       REMEMBERING IRVING YOUNGER

  Mr. CASEY. Mr. President, today I wish to remember Irving Younger. 
Irving was 1 of the 11 people who was violently killed at the Tree of 
Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood.
  Irving Younger was a kind soul who was simply happy to help and do 
whatever was needed. He was always present to greet arrivals at the 
synagogue and would lend his prayer book if a new congregant at Tree of 
Life needed it. He had an innate ability to know what was needed and 
how to help.
  Irving Younger's life was rooted in his faith and his family. He 
would always arrive early for services and stay late, and his visits to 
his family in California brought him great joy.
  Ralph Emerson once said, ``You cannot do a kindness too soon because 
you never know when it will be too late.'' Irving Younger never failed 
to do a kindness and that devotion will be remembered by all he 
touched.
