  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life and memory 
of Harvey Hotinger, who passed away recently at the age of 91.
  Harvey was born in Kerrs Creek outside of Lexington in 1932 and grew 
up on the family farm that formed the roots of not only service to his 
own but also a life of service to his community and country.
  After graduating from Virginia Tech with a focus on engineering, 
Hotinger joined the Army, specializing in missile systems. Following 
his military service, he began teaching algebra to high school students 
while also opening up a small business.
  During his career and throughout retirement, Harvey also took pride 
in his garden, giving his friends and neighbors thousands of pounds of 
fruits and vegetables, as well as delicious honey, never straying far 
from the roots of his family farm.
  He continued his service as he taught Sunday school to the youth of 
New Monmouth Presbyterian Church for more than 50 years. He also served 
the Kerrs Creek District on the Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors 
for 4 years.
  After a well-lived life, Harvey is survived by his wife, Rhunelle, 
and his children, stepchildren, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. 
His dedication and commitment to his community represent the best the 
valley has to offer, and he will never be forgotten.
