                        Tuesday, January 7, 2020

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of West 
Stockholm Chief Robert White, Jr.
  On the evening of Thursday, December 5th, Chief White saw flames 
engulfing the home of one of his neighbors just a few houses away. He 
responded to the fire and was coordinating the response when he 
suffered a medical emergency at the scene and passed away that evening.
  Robert White had been a dedicated public servant, serving the West 
Stockholm Fire Department for more than 33 years. In addition to being 
the chief of West Stockholm, he was also the Saint Lawrence County fire 
coordinator and trainer, playing a crucial role regionally. Outside of 
his roles in the fire department, Robert ran a local youth sports 
league and was very involved in the community. To his wife Trudy, the 
rest of his family and the West Stockholm community, I offer my 
sincerest condolences during this difficult time.
