                  HONORING CHARLES PARSON GAYLOR, III

  (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 the remarkable life 
of Charles Parson Gaylor, III, a distinguished district court judge, 
lifelong Goldsboro resident, and devoted servant.
  Charlie embodied compassion in his work, striking a balance between 
firmness and fairness. He enforced strict rules about cell phones in 
his courtroom. Yet, he approached the bench with such gentleness and 
care. His passion for life was evident in his deep love for his family, 
his genuine appreciation for history, and his fascination with old 
cars.
  For more than 15 years, I was fortunate to call Charlie my friend. 
His memorial service was a testament to the lives he touched. Many 
friends, family, and colleagues gathered at his beloved First 
Presbyterian Church.
  For 52 years, Charlie was a steadfast partner to his wife, Rhonda.
  Mayor Gaylor, his son, should always remember: Get in, get out.
  Sarah and Charlie brought him great joy. I send my deepest 
condolences to them both.
