                       Friday, December 22, 2023

  Mr. BARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a special 
man, Glenn Spencer.
  He was born in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky on August 21, 1945. He passed 
away on December 8, 2023, at his home in the Peeled Oak community of 
Bath County, Kentucky.
  Mr. Spencer graduated from Bath County High School and from Lexington 
Barber College. For 58 years, he worked as a barber. In addition to 
haircuts, he provided his customers with a listening ear and with 
friendship. Mr. Spencer also worked the land, growing trees, pumpkins, 
hay, and vegetables with his brother-in-law Joe Karrick. Their 
business, Big Oak Nursery, provided trees all across Central Kentucky.
  Mr. Spencer was a friend to many in his community, always ready to 
lend a helping hand and assist friends, family, neighbors, and 
strangers as needs arose. He was an active member and elder in his 
church, Kendall Springs Church of Christ. He taught classes there for 
young children for many years. He was married to his high school 
sweetheart, Bonnie, for 58 years. They have two daughters, one son, 
four grandchildren, and a large extended family.
  Glenn Spencer was a kind, devoted, and dependable man who helped 
others every chance he had. He made a difference in his community and 
through the lives of those he touched. I am honored to lift up his life 
before the United States Congress.
