                  HONORING THE LIFE OF ROGER NICHOLSON

  (Mrs. BOEBERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BOEBERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of my 
friend, Roger Nicholson.
  I love this photo because this was a really great day with two of 
Roger's, I like to say, greatest friends. Maurice was his buddy that he 
traveled all over Colorado with, and Roger caused a lot of trouble on 
the way, too.
  Roger is the embodiment of what I love about Coloradans, with his 
fighting spirit and grand vision for the future and his faith in the 
American Dream.
  Roger immigrated to the United States legally as a child. And 
starting from nothing, his mother gave everything to build a life for 
their family through the promise of opportunity.
  Roger often told me how I reminded him of his mom. I will cherish 
that comparison all my life.
  The lessons Roger learned from his mother's grit pushed him forward 
as he strove to make something great out of his life as a businessman; 
a friend to all; most importantly, a husband to his beautiful bride, 
Bobbie; a fierce father; and a loving grandfather.
  Roger was my friend--stubborn, ornery, funny, and driven. Roger's 
support was rock solid, and his dedication to the fight for freedom was 
unmatched.
  Roger's legacy will live on through the conservative movement in his 
community and in his family.
  To spend time with Roger was to live in the moment and cherish every 
spoken word. Even during our last conversation, Roger was full of spunk 
and optimism. Joy was his strength until the end.
  My friend Roger understood life, and he had the tough skin and tender 
heart to prove it.
  I love you, Roger, and we miss you greatly.
