                      IN MEMORY OF ROBERT AICHELE

  (Mr. SMUCKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and memory 
of a true community leader, Mr. Robert ``Bob'' Aichele, of Lancaster, 
who passed away at the age of 92 on Tuesday. Bob was a friend to 
everyone and would always greet you with a signature warm smile.
  He spent his life in service to others, in service to the Nation as a 
seaman first class in the United States Navy, a veteran of World War II 
and the Korean War.
  He also served his community, serving as the president of many boards 
and associations, and was a Manor Township supervisor for more than 25 
years.
  When he was not serving the community he loved, Bob was with his 
family. He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Mary Anne, five 
children, 15 grandchildren, and one great grandchild.

  Madam Speaker, my prayers and condolences are with his family, with 
those who grieve, and all those who had the opportunity to know Bob. I 
know I always appreciated his friendship and I will cherish the time 
that we had together.
  While we mourn the loss of Bob, we must also give thanks for the life 
that he lived and the time that we had to spend with him.
