            HONORING FALLEN CLINTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GLENN THOMPSON

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 28, 2017

  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy 
heart as flags throughout the Commonwealth are lowered to half-staff in 
honor of Clinton County Sheriff's Deputy Sheriff Stephen Herrold who 
died unexpectedly on Thursday, July 20.
  Stephen was 30 years old and had served as a sheriff's deputy for the 
last year and a half. He and his wife, Kelly, had just welcomed Brock--
their first child 10 days before his death.
  On Wednesday, more than 100 members of law enforcement from near and 
far lined the auditorium at Central Mountain High School to say goodbye 
to Stephen.
  Clinton County Sheriff Kerry Stover said Stephen was the first deputy 
he'd hired after being elected sheriff. At Stephen's service, he said:

       He was outstanding. He took his job seriously . . . He 
     served his community. He helped people. He confided in 
     people. He was polite and courteous. He projected law 
     enforcement in a positive way . . . He trusted his heart and 
     he did it right.

  Mr. Speaker, Stephen's sendoff was awe-inspiring, which was a fitting 
goodbye for a man who served his community with distinction and honor. 
Stephen will be missed, but his memory will live on forever.
