                          HONORING EFTON SAGER

  (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 honor a remarkable public 
servant and friend, Efton Sager.
  Efton served in the United States Air Force, retiring as a master 
sergeant. His commitment to our community was evident in all the active 
roles he played, including serving on the Wayne County Board of 
Commissioners. When he served in the North Carolina House of 
Representatives, we took great pride in representing Wayne County 
together.
  Throughout the years, we kept in touch, and there were many cherished 
memories. For one, I recall how heartbroken Efton was when his beloved 
wife, Delores, passed after 68 years of marriage. He said to me: ``I 
hope God doesn't keep me here for too many years without her.'' It 
brings comfort believing they are together again.
  Efton passed peacefully on May 27. Today would have marked his 92nd 
birthday.
  I extend my heartfelt condolences to Debra, David, and the family as 
we honor Efton's life and lasting impact.
