                MOURNING THE LOSS OF CEDRIC PAUL HUNTLEY

  (Mr. AMO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AMO. Mr. Speaker, like Mr. Magaziner previously, I recognize and 
stand with Rhode Islanders who are in mourning for a giant in our 
community, Mr. Cedric Paul Huntley.
  Cedric, or Mr. Ced, as he was known, was a convener of communities 
and a staunch advocate for peace.
  As the executive director of the Nonviolence Institute and throughout 
all of his youth development work, he led with heart and he led with 
compassion, striving to end the cycles of violence that tear families 
and neighborhoods apart.
  In this effort, he lived by example. You could always find Mr. Ced 
spreading the gospel of kindness, whether it was strangers he had just 
met or loved ones he had known for years.
  Above all, Cedric believed in service to others. His legacy lives on 
through his work in State government and our school systems and through 
his work as a small business owner and as a champion for Rhode Island's 
charitable causes.
  Last week, we came together for Cedric's memorial service and 
procession.
  Today, it is my privilege to speak his name into the Congressional 
Record on the House floor, the people's House, so that his legacy may 
live on for generations to come.
