  Mr. CARL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember a faithful 
husband, friend, father and grandfather, John Durwood Skipper, Jr.
  He graduated from Dothan High School in 1970 and from Troy University 
in 1974. He served in the Coast Guard for 31 years and was a Regional 
Sales Manager with DPC Enterprises. John was an active member of the 
Mobile County Republican Party and of the Mobile Sunrise Rotary Club. 
Additionally, he served on the Alabama State Republican Executive 
Committee for over 15 years. He was a man of deep faith and a devout 
member of West Mobile Baptist Church for over 30 years.
  I am honored to have known such a courageous civic leader and friend. 
He was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed.
