        HONORING THE LIFE OF SHELTON LAWRENCE ``CRICKET'' MOBLEY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and 
remember the life of Shelton Lawrence ``Cricket'' Mobley, who passed 
away on May 30 at the age 65.
  Born and raised in Waycross, Georgia, Cricket Mobley distinguished 
himself as a four-sport letterman at Ware County High School, where he 
graduated from in 1977.
  Cricket devoted a majority of his time to activities such as 
shrimping, fishing, hunting, and showcasing his passion for the 
outdoors. In addition to being an avid outdoorsman, he was a successful 
businessman, founding his own company twice and serving as a business 
proprietor for nearly 40 years.
  He had a passion for sports, especially baseball, which he stayed 
involved in until his passing.
  Cricket coached baseball to many young men, many of whom went on to 
play in college and professionally. Cricket was eventually inducted 
into the Ware County Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.
  Cricket will be missed, but his positive impact on those he coached 
will be felt for generations to come.
