                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 8, 2013

  Mr. CAMP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to former State 
Senator Robert D. Young in honor of his dedicated service to our 
country and the people of the State of Michigan in light of his recent 
passing. Senator Young's devotion to his community and this nation is 
something that is to truly be admired.
  Senator Young's career began in Spaulding Township where he built 
homes and managed a large farm. In 1974, Young won the election to the 
State Senate where he served for the next eight years.
  Upon leaving his successful career in State politics, Young took a 
position as the Executive Vice President of the Great Lakes Sugar Beet 
Growers Association. From this position, he advocated agricultural 
policies in Michigan, and Washington, DC, for thirteen years.
  Senator Young's career was dedicated to public service and the 
betterment of the state of Michigan. I stand here today to honor 
Senator Robert Young for his many accomplishments. On behalf of 
Michigan's Fourth Congressional District, I offer my appreciation for 
his years of service and extend my heartfelt condolences to his family 
upon their loss.
