                        Tuesday, August 22, 2023

  Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Speaker, respect for one's neighbors and service to 
one's community are the values that have built this great Nation. 
However, solitary acts of kindness and assistance were not nearly 
enough for Dr. Elbridge Brubaker who throughout his entire career 
consistently made it his goal to improve the quality of someone's day. 
Dr. Brubaker was a born and raised Wyomingite who always recognized his 
lifelong dream to become a physician. He would later realize that dream 
after completing his education at the University of Wyoming in 1961 and 
obtaining his medical degree from the University of Tennessee in 1965. 
Upon graduating with his medical degree, he made the decision to serve 
our country in the Army as the Chief Medical Officer in Montgomery, 
Alabama, where he was responsible for performing physicals of potential 
recruits. Following his time in the Army, Dr. Brubaker returned to 
Casper, Wyoming, and opened a family medical practice that he operated 
for over 5 decades. His exceptional ability to provide compassionate 
care was valued by each and every 1 of his patients. However, most 
importantly, he was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who 
valued time with his family and the good Lord above all else. Dr. 
Brubaker's kindness and expertise have undoubtedly left a powerful mark 
on the community of Casper and in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
