             HONORING THE MEMORY OF ROBERT S. WASHOCK, JR.

  (Ms. WILD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the memory of a hero in my 
community who recently passed away from this devastating virus. Robert 
S. Washock, Jr., or Bob as he was known to everyone, was a devoted 
father, grandfather, husband, brother, and friend. He defended our 
Nation in the United States Navy and was a member of Dyle E. Bray VFW 
Post 739 in Bangor, Pennsylvania, serving as quartermaster and 
treasurer of the Home Association.
  I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to know Bob, and the 
qualities that I can speak to are those that touched the lives of 
countless people across our community: kindness, humor, and compassion. 
The tributes that have poured in from people of every walk of life 
reflect the world of difference that he made.
  At this extraordinarily difficult time for Bob's family and many 
friends, I extend my deepest condolences. On behalf of a grateful 
community, it is my honor to pay tribute to Bob for his lifelong 
service as an Active Duty servicemember and as a proud veteran to the 
country he loved. His spirit will endure.
