                       Monday, December 21, 2020

  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the life 
and legacy of Hyndman Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ronald Allen 
Spiker, who passed away on December 1, 2020.
  Chief Spiker selflessly served the Hyndman Volunteer Fire Department 
for 30 years. He also was an EMR for the Hyndman Rescue Squad. For this 
work, he gained a reputation as a man who was always willing to offer 
help to anyone who needed it. Chief Spiker also generously invested 
time in teaching and mentoring younger firefighters.
  In addition to his service as fire chief, Chief Spiker was a truck 
driver for his entire professional life and worked at Croner Inc., New 
Enterprise Stone and Lime, and Rice Tire. He was also a member of the 
Kennells Mill Sportsmen's Club and the National Rifle Association.

  I extend my deepest sympathies to Chief Spiker's parents Ron and 
Jessie, his loving wife of 31 years Anita, and his son Tyler. On behalf 
of Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, it is an honor to 
recognize Chief Ronald Spiker's legacy of service to the John Hyndman 
community.
