             HONORING THE LIFE OF HERBERT ``BERT'' SNELLING

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELAINE G. LURIA

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 16, 2019

  Mrs. LURIA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
late Herbert Snelling, who was senselessly murdered in the Virginia 
Beach Municipal Center shooting. Virginia Beach lost Herbert far too 
soon.
  Herbert, known as Bert, was a Virginia Beach native and served as a 
contractor. Bert was admired by many of his neighbors and church 
family. People praised Bert for his faith and his dedication to helping 
others. Bert's life of hard work and his sweet spirit will forever be 
remembered.
  Bert 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.
