                        REMEMBERING ANDY QUINNEY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
honor my friend, Andy Eugene Quinney, of Georgia's First Congressional 
District who passed away at the age of 64.
  Mr. Quinney was born in Savannah, Georgia, and graduated from Robert 
W. Groves High School.
  Andy was a dedicated insurance agent, serving Chatham County and the 
Lowcountry of South Carolina for over 4 decades, most recently working 
with Jimmy Swain of James M. Swain & Associates.
  Andy took his leadership skills to new heights when he was the mayor 
of Garden City, Georgia, from 2002 to 2009.
  One of his goals as mayor was to ``put the garden back in Garden 
City,'' and that he did. He was blessed with a green thumb and could 
bring any plant or city back to life.
  Garden City thrived thanks to his devout leadership and commitment to 
improving the lives of its citizens. Andy was pivotal in making it the 
success it is today.
  Andy was a pillar for the Masonic Lodge through his service as 
Worshipful Master and was one of the founders of the Band of Brothers.
  Andy loved music, reading, and gardening, and he used all those gifts 
he was given for God's glory.
  Everyone who encountered him would be met with an infectious smile, 
and it was evident that the joy of the Lord was his strength.
  My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with my brother in 
Christ's friends and family during this most difficult time.
