  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Craig R. 
Miller, of Foley, Minnesota, who recently passed away after a battle 
with cancer.
  Craig was born in Litchfield, Minnesota in 1968 and graduated from 
Litchfield High School in 1986. After high school he continued his 
education at St. Cloud State University, graduating with a degree in 
Aviation and Business Management. For the next two decades, Craig built 
a successful career at Ben's Structural Fabrication in Waite Park where 
he became a Vice President.
  Outside of his day job, Craig also volunteered at the Clear Lake Fire 
& Rescue Department for 18 years. During his years in service to the 
department, he became Assistant Chief and received the Clear Lake 
Firefighter of the Year Award.
  He was an avid hockey fan; Craig played, coached, refereed and was 
lucky enough to be a Wild season ticket holder for many years. In the 
spring and summer, Craig loved playing golf, taking care of his yard 
and smoking meat at his barbeque and sharing with friends and 
neighbors.
  From the fire department to his job at Ben's, Craig took pride in 
everything he did. To his children Kylie and Steven, and the rest of 
the Miller family, we offer our sincerest condolences and pray that 
Craig's memory will comfort them all during this challenging time.
