             HONORING THE LIFE OF CHARLES T. CARMICAL, SR.

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
a fellow Georgian, Charles T. Carmical, Sr.
  An avid basketball player, Charles was the Georgia Player of the Year 
in high school before being recruited by South Georgia College to play 
basketball with them.
  He continued his love of the sport through adulthood, playing for the 
Golden Boys and winning the Georgia State title 12 times.
  As the owner and operator of Dalton Auction Furniture Company, 
Charles loved working with people and connecting them to treasures. He 
was a Scoutmaster in the Boy Scouts, where he mentored hundreds of 
young minds and supported 31 Scouts in reaching Eagle Scout status.
  In his personal life, Charles was also an active teacher in his 
church, where he served as a ruling elder, deacon, and member for over 
five decades.
  His friends and family described him as a gentle giant with endless 
patience and a true family man, always there for those who needed him 
most. He will be missed dearly.
