                       Monday, December 10, 2018

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember the life of 
Wayne R. Oste.
  Wayne Oste was highly dedicated to the Falconer area. A devoted 
family man and a man of faith, he spent his life serving the community 
where he grew up and raised his family.
  At the heart of his volunteerism, was his 41-year service to the 
Falconer Fire Department. Wayne's dedication and experience led him to 
honorably serve as its chief. He was also recognized as fire fighter of 
the year by his brethren. Not only was he a leader, but he stood with 
them and worked beside them during his tenure.
  Wayne will be remembered as a hero, a husband, a father, a 
grandfather and a friend to many. He left behind a legacy of service, 
leadership and community-mindedness that is a rare gift. We salute him 
now, and stand with his family in somber remembrance of his life, his 
love and his passions. I thank him for his service and pray he will 
rest in peace.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to remember the life of Wayne Oste.
