                      Thursday, December 15, 2022

  Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Richard Charles Tarte who passed away on November 1, 2022, at the age 
of 86.
  Richard was born on September 14, 1936, to Charles and Eva Tarte, and 
grew up in Garden City, Michigan. On August 28, 1959, Richard joined 
the Army and was a part of Company D, 3rd Engineer Battalion in 
Germany. During his service, he made the rank of Specialist 4th class 
before being honorably discharged on July 31, 1965.
  Richard learned the carpentry trade from his father and after 
finishing his career in the service started his own roofing and siding 
company. He also married Sally and made Jackson, Michigan a home. He 
was a resident of Jackson until his passing.
  Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the life of this great 
American. I send my most heartfelt condolences to Richard's many loved 
ones, and I hope they find comfort during this difficult time in the 
knowledge that Richard lived a full, enriching life. There is nothing 
more one can ask for. We thank Richard for his service to our country 
and to his community.
