  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Harold 
Keller of Mount Joy, who recently passed away.
  Harold will be remembered for his life of service and building a 
stronger community in Mount Joy. He was a proud Rotarian, serving as 
President of the Mount Joy Rotary Club. He additionally served as a 
member of the Mount Joy Borough Council and Mount Joy Chamber of 
Commerce. Harold and his wife Helen were known as Mr. & Mrs. Santa in 
Mount Joy, bringing happiness to children and residents for over 35 
years. Harold generously supported charitable organizations across the 
community and supported those in need, for instance, donating food to 
those impacted by Hurricane Agnes while his own home was flooded.
  Harold pursued his professional dream of becoming an auctioneer, 
opening Keller Auctions in 1960, which is now in its third generation. 
Harold served during many benefit auctions to support community 
organizations across the region and in 2012, was inducted into the 
Pennsylvania Auctioneers Hall of Fame.
  Harold enjoyed every moment with his family, and we offer prayers of 
comfort for those who grieve his passing. Harold is survived by his 
loving family, including Helen, his wife of 68 years, their eight 
children, nineteen grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren.
