Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the life of James Bennett. James was a loved, trusted, compassionate, and hardworking young man. I had the pleasure and honor of knowing him his entire life. James was as gifted athletically as he was academically, a wrestler who notched 95 wins in high school and was also selected into the prestigious National Honor Society and graduated from Rowan University in south Jersey. The positivity and the energy that he brought to this world will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of ever knowing him. I know that I personally miss him very much.

Rest in peace, my friend, and God bless you. ____________________
