  Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and 
celebrate the 90th birthday of Mr. Huey Scarver, Sr., a shining example 
of resilience, grace, and unwavering dedication to his family, his 
profession, and the community he has long called home. Born on June 27, 
1936, in Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. Scarver was raised with strong 
leadership and focus, traits that shaped the man he is today. He moved 
to Buffalo as a young man in May 1966, attending E.R. Carter Elementary 
School and Booker T. Washington High School, and later studying at and 
graduating from Buffalo State University. He was raised to have strong 
faith and love for the Lord, which has helped him during his time as a 
deacon at various churches in the Buffalo area.
  Mr. Scarver, Sr. has had many accomplishments throughout his 
lifetime. Beyond being a devoted husband to his wife, Mrs. Diane 
Scarver, for the last 47 years, he is the proud father of six children 
Dinesha Scarver, De'Mar Scarver, Huey Banks, Huey Seamen Jr., Natasha 
Floyd, and Guzzardi Scarver. His biggest professional accomplishment 
was when he joined the local IBEW 41, the local electrical workers 
union in Buffalo, where he worked as an electrician for 30 years. 
Before joining the union, he worked for Bethlehem Steel for a decade 
before making his transition into electrical work. When he is not 
working or with his family, Mr. Scarver, Sr. enjoys fishing, bowling, 
traveling, and spending time with his many grandchildren and great-
grandchildren.
  It is an honor to celebrate Mr. Huey Scarver, Sr., a man who 
dedicated his life to serving the Lord and his family. He is a man of 
many talents whose influence will precede him. His deep faith led him 
to become a member of Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church, Zion 
Missionary Baptist Church, and more recently, a member of Friendship 
Baptist Church. On this milestone birthday, we celebrate the 
extraordinary life, continuing legacy, and profound impact Mr. Scarver, 
Sr. has made on his loved ones and the community he has served.
