                         TRIBUTE TO GARY GLOVER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARION BERRY

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 10, 1999

  Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great Arkansan, a man 
who served his community as a minister of youth and music, and who was 
a devoted father and husband, Mr. Gary Glover.
  Mr. Glover spent much of his life as a dedicated church member, 
sharing his faith and conviction in God with others. He received his 
ministry license in 1988 after attending Southwestern Baptist 
Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and served Levy Baptist 
Church in North Little Rock at this time. Before settling in Arkansas, 
Mr. Glover served as director of housing and Christian training at 
Happy Hill Farm Academy and Home in Granbury, Texas. Here he supervised 
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary students. After Mr. Glover 
came to Arkansas he served as youth minister at Sylvan Hills First 
Baptist Church in North Little Rock.
  Clearly, Mr. Glover was a caring and giving man. Even after his 
passing, Mr. Glover continues to give through the donation of his 
organs. His family, including his wife, Becky, and his three sons, 
Drew, Daniel, and D.J., decided Mr. Glover would have wanted to 
continue helping others and felt this donation is something he would 
have wanted.
  Gary Glover was a man of great influence and inspiration for many. He 
was a strong voice for the Christian community in Arkansas and 
elsewhere. May we attempt to live our lives as generously as he.
