  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life and 
service of Richard Wade Carter of Sherman, Texas. Mr. Carter is 
survived by his wife Malinda, daughter Melanie Grammar and her husband 
Don, stepson Jack Hopper and his wife Merry, and his grandchildren and 
great grandchildren. Richard is preceded by his parents and his 
brother, Daniel Wayne Carter.
  Mr. Carter was born to Roscoe Stanley Carter and Beatrice Jackson 
Carter in Dallas, Texas, on December 15, 1931. A native of Oak Cliff, 
Texas, he graduated from Dallas High School. Richard later joined the 
United States Army in June 1956. Richard was stationed in Korea and 
Japan during his military service, where his fondness for Asian art and 
culture grew.
  On November 21, 1972, Richard married the love of his life, Malinda 
Ann Stewman, in Garland, Texas, where they resided for many years. 
Richard and Malinda enjoyed traveling together and exploring new 
restaurants, with Mexican cuisine being Richard's favorite. Moreover, 
he loved fishing, photography, and working with his hands. A lifelong 
Republican, Richard was a loving husband and father, and celebrated his 
50th anniversary with Malinda in November 2022. Richard was a devout 
churchgoer and a frequent attendee of the Cliff Temple Baptist Church 
in Oak Cliff, Texas.
  I have requested the United States flag be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol to recognize Mr. Carter's extraordinary life and devotion to 
his passions. Richard will be greatly missed by his friends, family, 
and colleagues.
