                          HONORING DAVID KING

  (Mr. RIGGLEMAN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RIGGLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember David King, an 
indomitable family man, a constituent of mine who passed away after a 
hard-fought battle with cancer on May 2.
  David was born in Houston, Texas, but moved to Virginia in 1995 and 
spent over 2 decades there. He will be remembered for his lasting 
contribution to the Virginia wine industry and his King Family 
Vineyards. It is one of my favorite places for a glass of wine.
  David served as a chairman of the Virginia Wine Board and worked 
tirelessly as a free-market advocate for vineyard agriculture and 
agritourism in Virginia. He leaves an enormous legacy in both the wine 
industry and his local Crozet community.
  David is survived by his loving wife, Ellen; his six sons and 
daughters-in-law, Carrington and Corie, Stuart and Ali, James and 
Kelly; as well as his eight grandchildren.
  One of David's favorite phrases was this: ``A rising tide lifts all 
boats,'' and David lived by that, lifting up those around him in 
success.
  We will miss him dearly.
