  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, family, friends, the community, police 
officers, and leaders from across the Nation, gathered inside Pfleeger 
Concert Hall at Rowan University on Wednesday, May 17, 2023 to 
celebrate the life, legacy and bravery of Officer Robert ``Bobby'' J. 
Shisler.
  Officer Robert J. Shisler proudly served as a Police Officer for the 
Deptford Township Police Department. Born on October 22, 1995, Robert 
grew up in South Jersey. He graduated from Deptford High School in 
2014, where he was an exceptional athlete, playing both varsity 
football and baseball.
  Officer Robert J. Shisler continued his education and athletic career 
when he committed to play Division One baseball at Presbyterian College 
in South Carolina. He was also very passionate about hunting and 
weightlifting, taking first place in a bodybuilding competition in 
2021.
  Officer Robert J. Shisler will forever be remembered as a dedicated 
officer and a hero who gave his life to protect and serve his 
community, state, and country. His heroic actions and service, putting 
others safety above his own, will be etched in history for all to honor 
and remember.
  Officer Robert J. Shisler was not only an exemplary officer, but he 
was also an excellent son, grandson, and brother. He came from a family 
committed to public service, working alongside his brother who 
currently serves as a Deptford Township Police Officer. He is survived 
by his parents Robert and Tracy, grandparents Marion, Robert, and 
Ethel, and his siblings Ashley and Tyler.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of a grateful Nation, I ask you to join me in 
honoring and commending Officer Robert J. Shisler, for his outstanding 
service and his selfless dedication to the Deptford Township Police 
Department and community, the Great State of New Jersey and the United 
States of America.
