                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 3, 2019

  Ms. SPANBERGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Elvin Cosby 
on his retirement from Henrico County Government after 73 years of 
service.
  Mr. Cosby began serving the Henrico Department of Public Works in 
April of 1946. He began his career in public service carrying water to 
county work crews and has also served as a truck driver, equipment 
operator, and county foreman. Most recently, Mr. Cosby acted as a 
maintenance supervisor and cleared debris from Henrico's roads.
  Mr. Cosby has diligently served the public through each and every one 
of his functions within Henrico County Govemment. In addition to his 
tireless work ethic, members of the community have also praised Mr. 
Cosby for promoting diversity and symbolizing selflessness. As a fellow 
public servant, I am humbled and moved by his dedication to serve 
Virginia's 7th District.
  Although I know he will be dearly missed by mentees, colleagues, and 
friends at the Department of Public Works, I hope Mr. Cosby will enjoy 
getting to spend more time with his wife and grandchildren. After seven 
decades of working on others' behalves, I cannot think of many more 
deserving of a blissful and relaxing retirement.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in commending Mr. Cosby for his 
unwavering commitment to improving our community.
