            HONORING THE LIFE OF ALFRED SETTLE DOCKERY, III

  (Mr. HOLDING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDING. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memory of Alfred Settle 
Dockery, III, who passed away in Raleigh last week. Settle was a 
kindhearted man who was passionate about improving his community.
  Settle grew up in Rockingham, North Carolina, and graduated from the 
College of Design at NC State University. He was a member of the 1967 
football team, the highest ranked team in school history, at number 
three in the Nation. Settle scored a touchdown in the first NC State 
win at Carter-Finley Stadium.
  After college, Settle began his career as a landscape architect, 
eventually moving to real estate development. He was a member of the 
original Raleigh Greenway Commission and a member of the Raleigh Hall 
of Fame Board of Directors.
  He was a well-known man who took pride in his work and wanted to make 
Raleigh a better place to live. Settle was a loving father, husband, 
and grandfather, and he will be deeply missed by all that knew him.
