  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Herbert 
``Herb'' Lewis White, Jr., who passed away on January 27, 2019. Herbert 
was 77 years old.
  Herbert ``Herb'' Lewis White, Jr. was known for his love for his 
community which kept him active in various organizations. He, along 
with four others, founded King William Rescue Squad (now King William 
Volunteer Fire and Rescue) in 1963 and was instrumental in adding the 
fire department to the organization in 1965. Herb remained an active 
member in the organization for more than 20 years. White also 
volunteered with the Mattaponi Volunteer Rescue Squad for several 
years. He assisted the county with zoning as the chairman of the King 
William County Board of Zoning Appeals for 36 years and redistricting 
matters as a member of the redistricting committee for two years. Herb 
also helped maintain and refresh the county's historical properties as 
director of the King William County Historical Society board during the 
renovation of the historical Acquinton Church Project and old jail at 
the courthouse. Herb was involved with the county Ruritan Club and was 
active in the construction of the new Ruritan Community Building and 
Park. Herb held 22 years of perfect attendance with the club. Herb also 
served as director of the Prevent Blindless Mid-Atlantic organization 
and chairman of the organization's board for two years, a member of the 
Joppa Lodge No. 40 AF and AM and a devoted member of Colosse Baptist 
Church. He additionally gave back to his community as Board Director of 
King William County Emergency Ministries and worked for many years with 
its Christmas Wishes program to provide gifts for those less fortunate 
during the holidays.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in remembrance of Herbert 
``Herb'' Lewis White, Jr. Words cannot express our gratitude. May God 
bless Herbert White and his family, Herb's wife, Marian, and I look 
forward to seeing his selfless contributions to our community continue 
to live on in his name.
