                     REMEMBERING JERRY WILLIS KEITH

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of 
Jerry Willis Keith.
  Jerry was born on March 28, 1937, in Waycross, Georgia, to Warren 
Lott Keith and Mary Emma Corbett Keith. He was a lifelong member of 
First Baptist Church of Jesup and a member of the Golden Rulers Sunday 
School Class.
  He spent his adult life managing and operating retail grocery stores 
for several national food chains. There, he was always praised by many 
local employees as the best boss they ever had.
  He was a very active member of many community organizations, 
including the Elks Club, Pine Forest Men's Golf Association, a Jaycee 
member, and an elite member of the Pond House crew.
  He was a loving husband; a caring father of 7; a doting grandfather 
of 15; and great-grandfather of 6.
  Mr. Keith's legacy will live on in the positive impact that he had on 
his community. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family.
