  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life and legacy of an outstanding Pennsylvanian, Mr. Earl E. ``Jim'' 
Linebaugh. A member of the Greatest Generation, Mr. Linebaugh served in 
the U.S. Navy during World War II. A lifelong resident of Adams County, 
he was an incredible member of our community throughout his life.
  Mr. Linebaugh was born on September 23, 1922, in Washington Township, 
the son of the late Amos and Lucy L. (Stine) Linebaugh.
  In 1944, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Following his service, Mr. 
Linebaugh was employed with East Berlin Feed Mills for many years 
before retiring from Sprenkle Feed Mills in York.
  He was the husband to Mildred E. (McManus) Linebaugh, who died in 
1986, and the late wife Loretta (Crook) Linebaugh. Mr. Linebaugh had 
ten children and numerous grandchildren, whom he adored. In addition to 
his work and life with his family, Mr. Linebaugh also was an active 
member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Abbottstown and a robust member 
of the Adams County community.
  When he passed away on Thursday, June 4, 2020, at 97, Mr. Linebaugh 
left an indelible impression on both our community and our nation. On 
behalf of the 13th Congressional District of Pennsylvania, it is my 
privilege to honor the life and service of Earl ``Jim'' Linebaugh. I 
offer my deepest sympathies to

the Linebaugh family and Jim's many loved ones. This American hero will 
not be forgotten, and I will continue to honor his remarkable legacy in 
Adams County and America.
