  Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
late Alexander Mikhail Gusev, who was senselessly murdered in the 
Virginia Beach Municipal Center shooting. Virginia Beach lost Alexander 
far too soon.
  Alexander worked as a right-of-way agent for the Department of Public 
Works for the City of Virginia Beach for nine years. Alexander 
emigrated from Belarus and gained an education first from Tidewater 
Community College and then through Old Dominion University. His friends 
described him as a great guy and a good friend. Alexander's life of 
hard work and service to the community, as well as his faithful 
friendship, will forever be remembered.
  Alexander will be missed by all his loved ones. Hampton Roads 
significantly benefited from his presence; he made our community a 
better place. Today we remember and honor his life.
