Congressional Record USA- Proceedings and Debates of the 105th Congress, First Session Washington, Tuesday, September 30, 1997 Senate IN MEMORY OF CHAD WARREN Mr.Smith, of New Hampshire. Mr President, I rise today in memory of Chad Warren, a young, thoughtful, and motivated man who recently passed away. Chad was only 25 years old when he unfortunately lost his life, only months away from his 26 th birthday. He is an example to us all because of his sheer dedication to his job and his unconditional love for his family. Working at the Goodhue Hawkins Navy Yard for the past six years, Chad became an invaluable employee and also was known as a friend to all. Hard working and dedicated are mere words to epitomize Chad as a person. He started out as a boat washer, and dockboy, and soon progressed to a boat rigger and forklift operater. He then achieved certification as a boat mechanic. Mr President, I admire Chad not only for his dedication, but also for the heart he put into his service at the Navy Yard. Prior to his employment, Chad was in Steve Durgan's Junior High Geography and U.S. History classes at Kingswood Regional Junior/Senior High School. Steve, a close and personal friend of mine, described Chad as quiet, shy, and thoughtful. At a young age, Chad was surrounded by many close, loving people. Besides his mother, Linda Morrill, of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, and his father Paul Warren, of Ashburnham, Massachusetts, Chad leaves his dear wife Sherri Warren, and their young children, Corbin , 5 years old, Shane 8 years old, and Amber, 12 years old. Chad was blessed to have these valuable people in his life. Mr President, to lose any life is a sad event. But to lose a young life, one full of energy, life, hopes, and dreams is a tragedy. My heart and prayers go out to Chad's family and espically his wife, Sherri, and their children, Corbin, Shane, and Amber. The loss of a husband and father is irreplaceable but Chad's memory will always live on in those who loved him. Bob Smith. USS
