                         HONORING BOB DICKERSON

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DAVID G. REICHERT

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 9, 2015

  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life of an 
amazing Washingtonian--Bob Dickerson. Bob died of cancer last week, 
something he had been dealing with for years, but, during all the ups 
and downs, that was never what defined him. Instead, he was a champion 
for those in need. Bob volunteered with the RESULTS organization, which 
works to reduce poverty and child mortality. Bob's advocacy was 
unparalleled; I met with him many times, both in my district office and 
in DC. Each time, I was impressed and humbled

by his passion for helping others, by his commitment to service. He had 
a heart for the world, doing everything within his power to improve the 
lives of each and every person in this world. My prayers are with Bob's 
family and the RESULTS team as they learn to live with Bob's memory 
rather than his person, and I suggest to all of us, that we take Bob's 
passion and service to heart, and put it before us as an example.
