  Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of a 
beloved member of our community, Tom Kamerling. On Tuesday, we lost a 
true legend, a man whose voice resonated through the halls of Arkansas 
Tech Univerity for many years. Tom's contributions to our community, 
both on and off the airwaves, will be forever cherished and remembered.
  As the public address voice of the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys and 
Golden Suns, Tom was more than just a broadcaster; he was the 
embodiment of professionalism and dedication. His voice became 
synonymous with Tech athletics, guiding fans through countless 
memorable moments with his unmistakable tone and unrivaled passion for 
the game.
  His impact extended far beyond the broadcasting booth. Tom's kindness 
and generosity touched the lives of everyone he encountered. Whether as 
a mentor to aspiring broadcasters or as a friend to those in need, he 
always went above and beyond to make a positive difference.
  His unwavering faith and commitment to serving others serve as an 
inspiration to us all. Even in his absence, his spirit will continue to 
guide and uplift our community for generations to come.
  My thoughts and prayers are with Tom's family and loved ones during 
this difficult time. May they find solace in the knowledge that his 
legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. In honor of his 
memory, let us strive to embody the same kindness, professionalism, and 
unwavering faith that defined Tom Kamerling's life.
