        HONORING THE LIFE OF HAROLD HUDSON ``RIP'' WALLACE, JR.

  (Ms. De LA CRUZ asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. De LA CRUZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a 
cherished son of south Texas, Mr. Harold Hudson ``Rip'' Wallace, Jr., 
who was called home earlier this year.
  Rip lived a life marked by service, dedication, and love. His 58 
years of marriage to his beloved wife, Donna, stands as a testament to 
his commitment and love.
  A respected rancher and community pillar, Rip's contribution to local 
agriculture, the Texas Farm Bureau, and his unwavering support for the 
Live Oak County Fair enriches our lives.
  His legacy as a lifelong member of the Houston Livestock Show and 
Rodeo will not be forgotten.
  My heart goes out to Donna, their family, and to all those who were 
touched by Rip's remarkable life.
