                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 31, 2021

  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, it is with deep sadness but great respect 
that I take this time to remember one of my constituents, Mr. Ferdinand 
``Doc'' Dugan, III of Hague, Virginia.
  Mr. Dugan passed away on Sunday, August 15, 2021 at the age of 88. 
Mr. Dugan was born in Catonsville, Maryland, and completed his 
undergraduate degree at the U.S. Naval Academy.
  Dugan honored his country with lifelong service, first with the 
United States Navy, and then in business. After retirement, Mr. Dugan 
went on to open an art gallery, where he sold original artwork and 
provided custom framing in the Northern Neck.
  In addition to a life of leadership in the military and active 
participation in local politics, Mr. Dugan was known as a family man 
and a valuable member of the community. Along with his wife, Bobbie 
Dugan, together they have nine children, twenty-eight grandchildren, 
and five great-grandchildren.
  Therefore, Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring the life 
of Doc Dugan and applauding his contributions to Westmoreland County 
and the Commonwealth. On behalf of America's First District, we say 
thank you to Doc Dugan.
