                      Thursday, February 11, 2021

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, it is with deep sadness that I rise today 
in honor of Tripp Hogg, who recently passed away. Tripp will be 
profoundly missed by his family, friends, and community, but his memory 
will live on for many years to come.
  Tripp was born on January 15, 1969, in Richmond, Virginia. He 
attended Lee Davis Highschool, where he graduated in 1987. Tripp 
graduated from East Carolina University in 1991, where he was a member 
of Sigma Phi Epsilon and the President of his Senior Class. Upon 
graduation from ECU, Tripp entered the Real Estate business in 1991 and 
joined his family's business, ERA Woody Hogg & Associates.
  Tripp has three children, Oakleigh, Delaney, and Elle Hogg; as well 
as three stepchildren, Mary Beth, Mandy, and Josh Ratchford. Tripp is 
also survived by his beloved wife, Kathie White Hogg; his sister, 
Elizabeth Hogg; and his brother, Jonathan Hogg; as well as his father, 
O Woodland ``Woody'' Hogg, Jr. (Pamela Hogg); and his mother, Susan U. 
Hogg.
  Tripp was an extraordinarily caring person who loved his family 
dearly, as well as his community, Commonwealth, and our Nation. I 
fondly remember the conversations we would have when we saw each other 
in the home improvement stores in the Mechanicsville area. He always 
began our conversations asking me how I was doing. I had the honor of 
hosting Tripp and his family on a personally guided tour of the U.S. 
Capitol and I will treasure that memory forever.
  Tripp was always very active in his community, church, and 
profession. He consistently ranked in the top 1 percent of all 
salespeople both locally and nationally. Tripp was also an avid 
fisherman and loved everything with salt water. Tripp's passion for 
service to those around him will be greatly missed by all who knew and 
loved him. I pray that God may bring peace to Tripp's friends and 
family as they grieve his loss, and that they may be comforted and 
reminded of their fond memories of Tripp during this time. Therefore, 
Madam Speaker, I ask that you rise with me today in remembrance of and 
to honor the life of Tripp Hogg.
