                   REMEMBERING BRYCE J. WINTERBOTTOM

    Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I wish today to honor the life of 
Bryce Winterbottom, who left a legacy of kindness, care for others, 
hard work and warmth in his too few years of life.
  Bryce lived life to the fullest, and had a strong grasp on the things 
that mattered most. He is remembered as usually having at least one of 
his children--Caleb, Maryanne, Henry, and Timothy--by his side as he 
worked on a variety of projects that included building rockets and 
cars, stargazing and landscaping. He is known as someone who worked 
hard and enjoyed the outdoors, spending time with family and friends, 
hiking, gold panning, camping and flying. Bryce encouraged those around 
him, he was uplifting and liked to help others. Bryce was an Eagle 
Scout who mentored Boy Scouts and helped advise in the Lewiston High 
School Skills USA program. He was also a member of the Nez Perce County 
Sheriff's Air Posse.
  Bryce is greatly missed in his hometown of Lewiston, where he was 
part of the heart of the community. He attended elementary, junior, and 
senior high school in Lewiston, and went on to serve a mission for the 
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Colorado Springs, CO, 
before obtaining bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical 
engineering from the University of Idaho and then working for 
Schweitzer Engineering. He married his high school sweetheart Amanda, 
and they built a wonderful family together.
  May Bryce's love of life, service to others, enthusiasm, warmth and 
devotion to family live on in his children. I extend my deepest 
condolences to Amanda, Caleb, Maryanne, Henry, and Timothy; his parents 
Ed and Chris, his brothers and sisters, and his many other loved ones 
and friends. Bryce's light will burn bright in this world through the 
hearts of those who had the good fortune of being part of his beautiful 
life.
