             COMMEMORATING THE LIFE OF DR. LLOYD DARBY, III

  (Mr. ALLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to 
commemorate the life of Dr. Lloyd Darby, III.
  Dr. Darby was a Georgia-12 native and lifelong resident of Vidalia, 
Georgia, and the lasting impact he leaves behind on behalf of the local 
community, his friends, and his family will be remembered for 
generations.
  With a deep love for our Nation and a strong passion for serving 
others, his many years as a U.S. Navy lieutenant, prominent dentist, 
and instrumental political figure speaks volumes about his character.
  Dr. Darby was a former chairman of the Toombs County Republican 
Party, district chairman and member of the state GOP board, and a 
delegate to the 1972 and 1976 Republican National Conventions.
  Additionally, he served as chairman of the Friends of Mattingly 
campaign during Mack Mattingly's tenure as U.S. Senator. He was the 
first Republican Senator from Georgia elected since the Reconstruction 
era.
  Lloyd Darby was a man passionate about his faith. He cherished his 
local community, loved his wife of 60 years, and his entire family 
beyond measure.
  Lloyd's passion was to give back a smile and to help those who 
otherwise could not help themselves.
  Robin and I send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to all of Dr. 
Darby's family, friends, and community on a life well lived.
