            HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF TIMOTHY C. HESS

  (Mr. McGUIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGUIRE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the legacy and life 
of Timothy C. Hess, a loving husband, father, and grandfather, who 
passed away peacefully on November 26, 2025.
  Tim Hess was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 11, 1949, and 
raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, by Curt and Joan Hess.
  After graduating from Milligan College, Tim began his professional 
journey at The Sea Pines Resort in South Carolina.
  In 1975, he moved to Nelson County, where he played a pivotal role in 
opening a staple of Virginia's Fifth Congressional District: 
Wintergreen Resort.
  At Wintergreen Resort, a location known by many Virginians, he met 
the love of his life and wife of 48 years, Lynne, and raised their 
three children: Greg, Lauren, and Paul.
  Over the next five decades, Tim became a respected agent, broker, 
developer, and managing partner of the Wintergreen Real Estate Company.
  Mr. Speaker, Tim Hess will be deeply missed, but he will be 
remembered for his legacy in Nelson County and in the many lives he 
touched. Please join me in honoring his life of service, conservation, 
and kindness.
