                            HON. JAMES COMER

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 20, 2018

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of Mr. 
Curtis Ray Goode of Marion County in the 1st District of Kentucky who 
passed away on December 17, 2018. Born November 8, 1946, Mr. Goode 
valiantly served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. After 
serving his country, he was not only a talented diesel mechanic with 
UPS in Louisville but steadfastly worked for the betterment of his 
fellow veterans as a devoted member of the Marion County Veterans Honor 
Guard, the Lebanon VFW, and the American Legion.
  Mr. Goode's service in the United States Marine Corps is evidence of 
his dedication to safeguarding our nation's freedoms and values and is 
worthy of our deepest respect and admiration. His patriotic spirit and 
dedication to his country were rivaled only by his fervent commitment 
to his family and his enthusiasm for serving others.
  I join with his family and loved ones--including his wife of 51 
years, Christine Goode, his children, and his extended family--in 
celebrating his lifetime of accomplishments and recognizing his noble 
service to our nation. His outstanding legacy of service and compassion 
lives on in each member ofhis family and in all those who knew him.
