  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Mr. William E. Bogan, who recently passed away at the young age of 
74.
  Mr. Bogan, known as Earle to friends, was born in Memphis, Tennessee 
in 1944 before moving to Higginson, Arkansas in 1993.
  He quickly joined the Higginson Fire Department and served for nearly 
20 years until his retirement in 2011.
  Bogan served as Higginson Fire Chief and a City Council Member for 
numerous years.
  Higginson's Community Building is being renamed the William E. Bogan 
Community Center by the Higginson City Council in honor of Mr. Bogan's 
service and leadership in the community.
  His contributions to his community will not be forgotten. I extend my 
respect, affection and prayers to his wife Catherine, family, and 
friends.
