  Mr. BEAN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of 
Mr. William Lorick, a beloved member of our Amelia Island family.
  Born in 1947, William grew up in Augusta, Georgia before attending 
Newberry College in South Carolina. After graduating, William embarked 
on a long and extremely successful real estate career. In 1973, William 
moved to Amelia Island, Florida where he lived for the rest of his 
life.
  William was a pillar of the Amelia Island community, but his service 
to the island went far beyond that. He was key to the growth of the 
Lutheran Prince of Peace Church, he was a founding member of the 
Barnabas Center, and he was one of the first volunteers for the South 
End Auxiliary Fire Fighters. William also spent years as a mentor in 
the Big Brothers program. He might even be remembered most for his 1929 
Ford Model A, which was certainly the coolest car in town.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that all my colleagues join me in celebrating the 
amazing life of William Lorick, along with offering our deepest 
condolences to his wife Stephanie, their children Barlass and Abigail, 
and to all of his friends and family who miss him dearly.
