                    REMEMBERING DEACON ANTHONY KOURY

  (Ms. WILD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, earlier this month, our community lost a giant 
with the passing of Anthony Koury, a longtime deacon of Our Lady of 
Lebanon Maronite Catholic Church in Easton, Pennsylvania.
  For more than 60 years, he served Our Lady of Lebanon as an altar 
server, lector, bingo worker, cantor, volunteer, and deacon. He also 
spent more than 40 years at Notre Dame High School in Bethlehem working 
as a teacher, coach, and athletic director.
  Deacon Koury lived a life of total service to his family, to his 
church, and to his surrounding community. He will be greatly missed, 
and I am so thankful for his work as a champion of our Lebanese 
community.
  May he rest in peace.
