IN RECOGNITION OF WARREN COUNTY FIRST RESPONDERS

Monday, July 19, 2021
Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Warren County Sheriff's Office, Richardsville Volunteer Fire Department, and Warren County Emergency Management Office. These local responders provide extraordinary services to protect all who visit and call Warren County home.
First responders in Warren County have continued to serve our community honorably, even with the added threat of COVID-19. The Warren County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Brett Hightower, plays an important role in keeping drugs out of the community, safeguarding local schools, and much more. The Richardsville Fire Department with Chief Brian Lee manages multiple fire stations to quickly respond to fires and other emergencies. The Warren County Emergency Management Office under the leadership of Director Ronnie Pearson helps with recovery, preparedness, and other emergency operations.
On May 31, 2021, first responders from these three emergency offices were called in to help find Jeff Halter. Sadly, he was taken from this world too soon due to a tragic accident. Jeff is the late husband of Kim, who is the director of constituent services for my congressional office, and also my friend and neighbor. Jeff loved his family and was a proud father to Katherine Chelsey and Laura-Leigh. He will leave a lasting positive impact on the community and patients he served through his pharmacies.
I appreciate the work and dedication of first responders with the Warren County Sheriffs Office, Richardsville Volunteer Fire Department, and Warren County Emergency Management Office in recovering Jeff, who I miss dearly. I am thankful for these responders, who uphold their duty every day to ensure our community is a safe place to live and work.
