                   HONORING THE LIFE OF WYMAN COPASS

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the remarkable 
life led by my friend and former pastor, Dr. Wyman Copass.
  Wyman passed away on Friday, October 4, having lived an extraordinary 
life of 80 years. Wyman will live on in the memories of all who have 
had the privilege to know him.
  For me, his influence lives on in the memory of his role in my 
salvation. As a graduate of Campbellsville University and Luther Rice 
Seminary, Dr. Copass oversaw a ministry spanning not only the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky, but also the breadth of the Nation.
  While he enjoyed golfing, cooking, and gardening, his greatest 
passion was his family, whose love and devotion he cherished and 
returned in kind. His wife of 62 years, Glenda; his daughter, Susan; 
and his son, Chris; as well as his five grandchildren undoubtedly 
consider themselves lucky to have had such an emblematic figure in 
their lives, just as I do.
  Dr. Wyman Copass was a force for good in the First Congressional 
District of Kentucky, and his example and vision will be missed.
