                REMEMBERING GROVE HILL MAYOR LEVON HICKS

  (Mr. BYRNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BYRNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember a loyal community 
servant, Grove Hill Mayor Levon Hicks. Sadly, Mayor Hicks passed away 
on November 14 after an extended illness.
  He devoted his life to serving his family, his church, and his 
community. He was a dedicated member of Jackson Church of Christ for 
more than 50 years, serving as an elder and attending several mission 
trips over the years. He served two terms on the Grove Hill Town 
Council before becoming mayor. He also served around 40 years as a 
volunteer fireman and was an active member of the Lions Club. He worked 
tirelessly for the betterment of the Grove Hill community and enjoyed 
fishing, traveling, and the University of Alabama football.
  Mr. Speaker, to Mayor Hicks' wife, Helen, and his children and 
grandchildren, we say thank you for sharing Levon with us. We will miss 
him greatly.
