           HONORING DR. AMBROUS OLIVER ``BUTCH'' FINDLEY, JR.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Rose). The Chair recognizes the 
gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Clyde) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CLYDE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor and celebrate the life 
of Dr. Ambrous Oliver Findley, Jr., affectionately known as ``Butch,'' 
who recently passed and is survived by his loving wife, Wanda, and his 
children, grandchildren, sister, nephews, and dear friends.
  Butch's life was filled with tremendous acts of service. After 
obtaining a bachelor's in psychology from the University of South 
Florida, Butch's commitment to the well-being of others led him to the 
U.S. Navy where he selflessly served as a hospital corpsman. A man of 
diverse talents and interests, Butch then returned to the University of 
South Florida and obtained a bachelor's in biology and premed.
  Butch's devotion to the medical profession later led him to attend 
the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and complete his 
residency at the General Hospital in Pinellas Park, Florida. After this 
pivotal chapter, Butch once again answered the call of duty, this time 
as a physician in the United States Army where he served at the rank of 
captain in Fort Stewart, Georgia.

  For 42 years, Butch then dedicated himself to the well-being of 
Georgians in Rabun County, leaving an indelible mark on the northeast 
Georgia community that he served--first at Ridgecrest Hospital and 
later at MedLink Rabun. He was not merely a physician; he was a beacon 
of hope and healing, touching countless lives.
  Beyond the stethoscope, Butch reveled in the simple joys of life. 
Whether exploring new adventures or finding solace in the comfort of 
home, he cherished precious moments with his family and friends.
  Butch's kindness, compassion, and profound sense of duty will forever 
resonate in the hearts of those who knew him. As we bid farewell to a 
beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, we find 
peace knowing that he is now with our Heavenly Father.
  Georgia's Ninth District will always remember and honor the 
incredible legacy that Dr. Butch Findley, Jr. left behind.

  Mr. CLYDE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Hall County's top 
industries for 2023. Earlier this month, the Greater Hall County
