                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 11, 2025

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of Larry Thomas Glass, Sr.
  Larry, a lifelong resident of Barren County, Kentucky, was a 
dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather to two 
children, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Larry is 
survived by his family, including his wife Sylvia.
  Larry was a pillar of the Barren County community as the proud owner 
and operator of Larry Glass Construction Company, in Glasgow. Larry and 
his wife of 54 years Geraldine, who passed away in 2016, came from 
humble beginnings, having built their company from the ground up. Their 
business has been a stalwart of the community in Barren County and 
south-central Kentucky for decades. Their charitable work includes 
helping local community partners and refusing to send them a bill 
afterwards.
  You didn't have to meet Larry to be impacted by him in Barren County. 
Larry was very generous and devoted to international mission work, 
especially to the people of Ukraine. His philanthropy allowed him to 
help build a ministry school in Ukraine that continues to train 
preachers so that they may spread the gospel throughout the country. 
Larry's ministry also reached the Philippines where he helped to build 
churches, homes, and support orphanages across the country.
  On behalf of Kentucky's Second District, please join me in 
remembering the life of Larry Glass, Sr.
