                      HONORING DEPUTY CORONER GOSS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG COLLINS

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 12, 2017

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
Lumpkin County's Deputy Coroner Frank Goss. Recently, the Georgia 
Coroner's Association awarded him the title of Deputy Coroner of the 
Year--a hard-earned honor given to only one nominee each year.
  When Deputy Coroner Goss first assumed leadership in the Lumpkin 
County Coroner's office, he had a difficult job ahead of him. 
Fortunately for my friends in Lumpkin County, he wasn't afraid to rise 
to the occasion--to put in the extra hours, to make the tough 
decisions, and to offer support to families as they grieve the loss of 
a loved one.
  Deputy Goss's empathy for his community, along with his professional 
experience, made him the obvious choice for Deputy Coroner of the Year.
  Mr. Speaker, adversity cultivates strength in leadership--as 
exemplified by Deputy Goss. I thank him for his service to our friends 
and neighbors back home, and applaud him for his new title and the 
continued impact that he will make on northeast Georgia.
