                      IN MEMORY OF RICK RICHARDSON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL C. BROUN

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 19, 2014

  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a 
great American, a great Georgian, patriot, and personal friend--Rick 
Richardson, who passed away on November 14th from a sudden stroke.
  Rick served the Georgia GOP for 25 years as the president and a 
national board member of the State Young Republicans, and 4th District 
chairman.
  He had a tremendous impact on his fellow staff, the chairmen of the 
State Party, and all 159 counties in Georgia through his humble and 
hard-working attitude.
  Rick was not only the party's ``go-to guy'' for history on any level 
but a great friend to all who knew him.
  Rick's father and mother should take great pride in raising a son who 
touched many lives and will continue to do so in the days ahead.
  In return, Rick, who lost his father at a young age, stayed by his 
surviving mother of 92, whom he cared for and loved.
  Today, may we reflect on Rick's singular character and the tremendous 
work he did for Georgia, his family, and country.
  Let us not forget him--a proud son, faithful servant, and example of 
what it means to be a selfless leader.
