                       A TRIBUTE TO WILL CROCKER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE McINTYRE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 21, 2013

  Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a truly 
outstanding North Carolinian, Will Crocker, who has served as the Clerk 
of Court for Johnston County, North Carolina, for almost thirty-five 
years. Mr. Crocker assumed his current post in 1978, but has been an 
outstanding public servant since 1959, when he first began working as a 
clerk for Selma Recorder Court. He has since dedicated himself wholly 
to bettering this great community, and I ask you to join me in 
recognizing his long and honorable career.
  Mr. Crocker's hard work and devotion have been vital to the continual 
development of Johnston County. Throughout Mr. Crocker's tenure, he has 
continuously held an open-door policy, and has committed himself to 
high ethical standards. Respected by all who know him, he has been the 
recipient of many awards and accolades recognizing his hard work and 
dedication to his job. After Hurricane Fran, the violent storm that 
devastated much of eastern North Carolina in 1996, every government 
office in town was closed except one: the clerk's office.
  Mr. Speaker, Will Crocker has selflessly dedicated many years of his 
life to serving the citizens of Johnston County. His enduring 
commitment to his community makes him an exemplary public servant, and 
his accomplishments will continue to benefit eastern North Carolina for 
many years to come. As his time as Clerk of Court comes to a close, let 
us honor Mr. Crocker and pray that both he and his family may receive 
God's richest blessings.
