            CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF EVERETT ``CRUSTY'' TOLER

  (Mr. ABRAHAM asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ABRAHAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of Mr. 
Everett ``Crusty'' Toler, who passed away last week in his hometown of 
Jena, Louisiana.
  Crusty was a tugboat captain who lost the use of his legs early in 
life, but it did not do anything to cast a shadow on his warm 
personality or his outgoing demeanor. He was just a phenomenal 
gentleman. A friend to all who knew him, Crusty was a member of the 
``Ole Boys'' club and Pritchard Baptist Church in Jena.
  Crusty is survived by his wife, Paula, of 46 years; three brothers; 
and several nieces, nephews, and godchildren.
  Please join me in bidding Crusty Toler a warm farewell.
