                            SHERIFF WINDERS

  (Mr. HOLDING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDING. Mr. Speaker, last week, North Carolina lost a real 
leader and a good man--my loyal friend, Sheriff Carey Winders of Wayne 
County. He was only 57 years old.
  Carey was one of the youngest men to be elected as sheriff in Wayne 
County, and 2015 would have marked his 20th year of service. He was 
dedicated to the people he served and respected by all. Carey was a 
lifelong member of Union Grove Free Will Baptist Church, where he met 
his wife of 33 years, Teresa. Family was everything to Carey. Carey had 
three daughters--Jessica, Ashley and Carianne--and two granddaughters.
  Mr. Speaker, Carey was devoted to Wayne County and driven by his 
faith, his family and his commitment to the citizens who put their 
trust in him. While it is a dark time in Wayne County, we know that the 
light of his life and his principled example will illuminate this 
community in the days ahead.
