                      HONORING KENNETH LEE PARKER

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Kenneth Lee 
Parker, the former mayor of Momeyer, North Carolina.
  Kenneth was a dedicated public servant and a true pillar of the 
Momeyer community. For over 25 years, he selflessly served as mayor, 
dedicating his time as assistant fire chief and a volunteer EMT.
  Kenneth's commitment to his community didn't stop there. For 52 
years, he was actively involved in the Ruritan club where he and his 
wife, Colleen, provided delicious meals and he gracefully embodied its 
motto: ``fellowship, goodwill, and community service.''
  We reflect on Kenneth's remarkable life and contributions, and I 
extend my prayers to his family and all those who were fortunate enough 
to have known him. His legacy of kindness and service will forever 
resonate in our hearts. May we all find inspiration in Kenneth's 
example and strive to make a difference as he did.
