                     HONORING THE LIFE OF WALT MARR

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 14, 2022

  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, today I would like to 
recognize the passing of Pastor Walt Marr, of Elderton, Pennsylvania.
  Pastor Walt was a cherished leader in his community who embodied the 
values of fellowship and neighborly love. He considered the Cornerstone 
Church in Indiana, PA his home, but Pastor Walt was always happy to 
help other ministries in need of his wisdom.
  Pastor Walt's ministry of first-person reenactment was cherished 
throughout his community. He had the unique skill of combining 
historical and biblical lessons with engaging reenactments. His most 
notable reenactment of President Lincoln was a favorite of his, as it 
allowed him to combine his love of our country's history with teachings 
of faith that were influential to President Lincoln.
  Pastor Walt was an example of what it means to truly live for others. 
His congeniality and humor will be dearly missed by many. The teachings 
he shared, and the examples he set by living them, are more relevant 
today than ever before.
  He will be remembered as a man who possessed a profound sense of 
faith and community. He leaves behind a family and community that will 
sincerely miss him and his reenactments. His positive contributions to 
his community will be remembered for years to come.
  May God bless Pastor Walt and his family.
