                 HONORING DEACON JAMES ANDREW WYNN, SR.

  (Mr. BUTTERFIELD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the life and legacy 
of a dear family friend, Deacon James Andrew Wynn, Sr. Born on August 
6, 1922, James Wynn lived a long, loving, and productive life. This 
past Saturday, he transitioned from labor to reward.
  Deacon Wynn, a lifelong resident of Gold Point, North Carolina, loved 
his family, loved his community, and loved his God. In 1943, he met the 
love of his life, Naomi Lynch, commencing a marriage that lasted for 59 
long years.
  James was a skilled farmer and carpenter and was well-known 
throughout the community.
  James and Naomi were parents to eight wonderful children. They took 
great pride in their children's education and accomplishments, and they 
have accomplished much.
  The children are: Angela; Joan; Judge James Wynn, who is a long-
serving judge on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals; Reginald Wynn; 
Dr. Anita Wynn; and Dr. Arnie Wynn. From that lineage are 17 
grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.
  May Deacon James Andrew Wynn, Sr. rest in peace.
