                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 5, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Stanley 
Lickey, Sr., former Fire Chief of the Philomont Volunteer Fire Company 
Number 8, located in Loudoun County, Virginia.
  A lifelong volunteer, Chief Lickey served dutifully for 32 years as 
Fire Chief, making him one of the longest continuously serving fire 
chiefs in the United States. He was instrumental in forming Loudoun 
County's Fire and Rescue Commission, whose mission was to create a 
county-wide fire and rescue system. Thanks to Chief Lickey's tireless 
efforts, today's system has become a model for career and volunteer 
cooperation.
  He dedicated his life to serving his community and his enduring 
legacy is his willingness to lead by example, placing service to his 
neighbors in their time of greatest need above service to self.
  Chief Lickey passed away at the age of 80 on May 27, 2016, surrounded 
by family, friends, and colleagues. Blessed to have been a grandfather 
and great-grandfather, he is survived by an extensive family who misses 
him greatly.
  Mr. Speaker, in closing, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
the life of Fire Chief Stanley Lickey, Sr. and expressing gratitude for 
his life of service to our community.

                          ____________________
