                          HONORING BURKE WALL

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
honor Burke Wall, who passed away on March 1, 2021, at the age of 76.
  Burke was a lifelong Georgian who graduated from the University of 
Georgia with a degree in dairy production. Burke was an avid UGA 
football fan and an active sportsman.
  Burke was also an enthusiastic deep-sea fisherman aboard his boat 
called Trashman, and his talents were recognized in numerous 
tournaments along the East Coast.
  In 2019, Burke won the Edisto Beach South Carolina Governor's Cup 
Tournament and impressively put a 549-pound blue marlin on the dock at 
the Mid-Atlantic 500 the same year, earning him second place.

  Burke owned Superior Sanitation Services, sold that company to Waste 
Management, and then founded Atlantic Waste Services in Pooler in 1999.
  Although Burke grew up with humble beginnings on his family's dairy 
farm, he lived a life of immense influence through his involvement with 
the Chatham Club, the Rotary Club of Savannah, the Savannah Yacht Club, 
and several other professional organizations.
  My thoughts and prayers go out to all who knew him during this most 
difficult time, especially his son, Ben.
