  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart and deep 
admiration that I honor the life and legacy of David Larry Cummings, a 
remarkable individual whose commitment to service and tireless 
dedication to his community will forever be remembered.
  David Cummings embodied the true spirit of public service, 
exemplifying the values of honor, compassion, and dedication. 
Throughout his life, he left a mark on the Akron-Newstead area, where 
he served as Town Supervisor and Councilman for over three decades. His 
passion and leadership were evident in the numerous accomplishments he 
achieved for the community. From bringing town water to Newstead 
residents, to the construction of essential facilities such as the 
Akron-Newstead Senior Center and the Joint Town of Newstead and Village 
of Akron Municipal Facility, David's visionary approach to governance 
improved the lives of countless individuals.
  David's efforts in designing and creating the Cultural Center at the 
Newstead Public Library will continue to foster a love for learning and 
the arts for future generations. He also secured funding to expand and 
create new sections of the bicycle path, promoting healthy lifestyles 
and outdoor recreation.
  David's commitment to service extended beyond New York. He served 
honorably in the United States Air Force and the New York Air National 
Guard and displayed unwavering dedication to his country.
  Today, as we mourn the loss of a true servant leader, let us also 
celebrate David Larry Cummings' remarkable life. His legacy will 
continue to inspire us to serve our communities with honor, compassion, 
and a relentless desire to make a difference. May his family find 
solace in knowing that his contributions to society will be forever 
cherished and remembered.
