                     REMEMBERING SARVELIO DEL VALLE

  (Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay 
respects to a friend who passed away this weekend, Sarvelio del Valle. 
Sarvelio del Valle was the director of the sports department, sports 
broadcaster, and commentator for Radio Mambi, WAQI in Miami. He was 
also so much more.
  A lifelong journalist, he possessed an unparalleled knowledge of 
sports and sports history. And he was also the personification of 
cordiality, grace, good humor, patriotism, decency, and friendship.
  To his beloved wife, Yaya, and his entire family, my most sincere 
condolences. I will greatly miss Sarvelio del Valle. And like his many 
friends and the countless thousands who were his devoted listeners, I 
will never forget him.
  May God bless the soul of my friend, Sarvelio del Valle.
