                     Wednesday, September 19, 2012

  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I submit these remarks today to 
recognize Mr. Roy T. Campbell, Jr. of Tennessee's First District, who 
has been named 2012 Citizen of the Year by Senior Citizen Home 
Assistance for his longstanding dedication and service to Cocke County. 
For those unfamiliar with Senior Citizen Home Assistance, this is an 
organization that provides services to seniors and enables them to live 
at home. Once a year they recognize an exemplary individual and honor 
their achievements. Through his work as a lawyer and volunteer, Roy has 
made many selfless contributions to his community.
  A graduate of the University of Tennessee School of Law, Roy has 
endeavored to help the citizens of Cocke County throughout his career. 
In addition to more than 61 years of practicing law, he has been 
involved in many civic, church, and community groups. He is a founding 
member of the Industrial Development Board of Cocke County, which has 
attracted businesses and jobs to the region. He has also been an 
enthusiastic supporter of higher education in East Tennessee with 
generous gifts to the University of Tennessee, UT School of Law, and 
East Tennessee State University.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Roy for his selfless contributions to Cocke 
County and wish him the best as he continues to exemplify the Volunteer 
spirit.
