  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life of George Dale Burt, a beloved husband, grandfather, and 
friend. He passed away peacefully at Baptist Memorial Hospital in 
Oxford on May 9, 2021. I join his loved ones in mourning his loss.
  He was born on February 2, 1937 to Hattie Patterson Burt and George 
Lee Burt. He attended Oakland High School and Delta State University. 
He later earned his master's degree from the University of Mississippi. 
Mr. Burt went on to become the principal of Senatobia High School. It 
was there he began his thirty year coaching career in football that 
allowed him to impact countless students.
  Dale was an outdoorsman and spent time on the family farm. For 
twenty-five summers, he served as a park ranger at Arkabutla Lake.
  Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Elizabeth Hawkins Burt; 
children, Teri Lynn Burt Scoggins, David Allen Burt; Carol H. Darby, 
Patsy Williams; eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Burt was a dedicated mentor, loving husband, and diligent father. 
l thank him for his service to the state of Mississippi and offer my 
deepest condolences to his family and friends.
