                HONORING THE LIFE OF DONALD LOUIS CRUTCH

  (Mr. YOHO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOHO. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the memory of a great 
man who had a profound impact on our local community. Mr. Donald Louis 
Crutch was a father, husband, Rotarian, and dedicated member of the 
community.
  His wife, Lisa, was his high school sweetheart and together they 
raised four great children: Tiara, Dontai, Taniyah, and DaVontai, and 
he leaves behind a large and loving family of cousins, nephews, nieces, 
uncles, aunts, and friends. His contributions will be forever 
remembered.
  He was the founder of two nonprofit organizations: the National Pink 
Tie Organization, and the Honor Guards of America. You could always 
find Don wearing a hot pink shirt in support of those battling cancer, 
and he would never accept less than six lemons in his ice tea.
  It was these little things like his megawatt smile and warm handshake 
that made him a pillar of our community.
  While we miss Don greatly, his legacy will live on.
