                 REMEMBERING MAYOR ROBERT EDWARD TAYLOR

  (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, the Town of Hookerton and 
all of Greene County mourn the passing of Mayor Robert ``Bob'' Taylor.
  Bob was a dear friend, and it was a privilege to know a man whose 
life reflected faith, hard work, and service to others.
  Born and raised in Greene County, he answered our Nation's call to 
serve in the United States Army before returning home to serve the 
community he loved.
  Whether protecting his neighbors through the Hookerton Fire 
Department, mentoring young people in his church, or faithfully serving 
as mayor for 17 years, Bob always put others first.
  Mr. Speaker, his leadership was never about recognition. It was 
simply about making Hookerton a better place.
  Above all, Bob was a devoted husband to Carolyn for 65 years, a 
loving father and grandfather, and a man whose Christian faith shaped 
every chapter of his life. I extend my deepest condolences to his 
family.
