  Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the remarkable 
life of Abey Kappamammoottil Varughese.
  Abey was born on July 29, 1962 to K.T. and Chinnamma Varughese in 
Kerala, India. He was the youngest of four siblings and was greatly 
loved by his immediate and extended family. Abey loved to learn and 
excelled throughout his grade school years. He went on to receive a 
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Kerala. After 
immigrating to America, he proudly worked as a research and development 
chemist for much of his career.
  Abey and his wife Lishba were married on July 29, 1987. He and Lishba 
resided in Waterford, Michigan and celebrated over 30 years of marriage 
together.
  Abey passed away on June 30, 2019 surrounded by his family. He is 
survived by his wife Lishba, his son and daughter-in-law Jeremiah and 
Jincy Varughese, his daughter and son-in-law Hannah and Nathan Gyani, 
and his newest granddaughter, Ranni Varughese.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in reflecting on the 
life of Abey Kappamammoottil Varughese and his many contributions to 
his community in Southeast Michigan
