HONORING THE LIFE OF ROSS TOLLESON
(Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to remember and honor Ross Tolleson of Perry, Georgia.
Ross was a beloved and honored member of the Georgia State Senate, where he served from 2001-2015. Senator Tolleson represented the 20th Senatorial District, and he did so with a servant's heart, always working to better those that he represented. He served on the Committee on Natural Resources and Environment, chairing the Natural Resources Subcommittee for Appropriations.
Outside of the Senate, Ross served his community as a banker, an insurance salesman, and a tree farmer. He will forever be remembered for his selfless dedication to improving and assisting our great State.
I am thankful to have served with Ross and will always hold the time we spent together close to my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him during this most difficult time.
