                         REMEMBERING TIM DOBOS

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember 
the life and legacy of Timothy Paul Dobos of Mill Hall, Pennsylvania.
  Tim Dobos died on July 11 after a courageous 10-year battle with ALS. 
He was just 36.
  Tim was a Marine Corps veteran. He worked as an electronic warfare 
analyst with the 2nd Radio Battalion, was deployed to Kuwait with the 
22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit. In 2010, when earthquakes devastated 
Haiti, Tim assisted in relief efforts, earning him a Humanitarian 
Service Medal. Tim rose to the rank of lance corporal before being 
honorably discharged in 2012.
  In April 2014, Tim was diagnosed with ALS, but that diagnosis didn't 
slow him down. In 2018, Tim earned a degree in applied physics from 
Lock Haven University.
  I was fortunate enough to call Tim a friend. His contagious 
personality brought happiness to all who had the pleasure of knowing 
him. He lived a life dedicated to service and caring for others.
  I offer my deepest condolences to Tim's wife, Robyn, their sons, and 
his family. Knowing Tim was a blessing. Having him as a friend was a 
blessing, and may Tim's memory be a blessing to all.
