On the recordSeptember 28, 2016
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of a local hero in my district, Mr. Austin Curry, who passed away on September 18 at the age of 86. Friends remember him as a ``young soul who spent days in prayer or sharing his sunny demeanor and faith in prolific Facebook posts.'' With a full life devoted to God and service to his country, Mr. Curry was an Air Force veteran who served in the Korean war. As a passionate advocate in the elderly community, Mr. Curry served in leadership roles for the Florida Silver-Haired Legislature, the Hillsborough County Hospital Association, and the Health Council of West Central Florida. He also served as a delegate to the White House's 2005 Conference on Aging. His accomplishments and the lives he touched will remain in our memories. ____________________
