                   REMEMBERING SENATOR TOM CASPERSON

  (Mr. BERGMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of Michigan's First 
Congressional District in memory of a friend, devoted father and 
husband, and dedicated public servant, Senator Tom Casperson, who 
passed away on Sunday, November 29, after a hard-fought and courageous 
battle with cancer.
  Senator Casperson served in the Michigan Legislature for 14 years and

was a fierce advocate in Lansing for our Upper Peninsula way of life.
  Tom was a strong and universally respected voice, confronting 
challenging issues head-on and working across the aisle for the benefit 
of his constituents. His unwavering commitment to his family, his 
faith, and his community is unquestionable. The entire State of 
Michigan is a better place because of him.
  To Tom's family and friends, Isaiah 41:10 says:

       Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I 
     am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will 
     uphold you with My righteous right hand.

  Please join me in honoring the extraordinary life of Senator Tom 
Casperson.
