  Mr. BANKS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember Chester ``Chet'' 
Bartol of Fort Wayne who passed away last month.
  Chet was a hard-working, intelligent man who served our country and 
his community with joy. He graduated Warsaw High School in 1945 and 
attended Purdue University, where he earned a degree in Electrical 
Engineering. For nearly fifty years, he worked in orthopedics as a 
distributor and was the owner of Zimmer-Bartol Associates.
  In addition to his academic and career pedigree, Chet was a veteran 
of the United States Army, having served in the Electrical Warfare 
Division of the Signal Corps. Northeast Indiana, and our country, is 
grateful to him for his service.
  He is remembered as having been particularly active, sociable and 
selfless. A lifelong fan of Purdue sports, Chet ran high school and 
college track, and into old age remained a golfer and avid cardplayer. 
He is also remembered as having been a loving husband, father and 
friend. He is survived by his wife, Shirley, five children, eleven 
grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
  In the wake of his passing, I wish Chet's family peace, comfort and 
joy in knowing he lived a long and happy life. Though he is no longer 
alive, his spirit lives on in the minds and souls of those whom he knew 
and loved most.
