Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, in this eventful week in history we heard repeated from the chapter of the Bible Ecclesiastes, `to every thing there is a season--a time to live, a time to die.' And so it is with all of us as mortal human beings.

I rise today to pay tribute to the memory of Robert J. Sturm. Bob Sturm was a great community leader and a respected public servant in central Florida. His death yesterday will leave a void in Florida's Seventh Congressional District. His presence, his wisdom, and his leadership will be missed by people of Seminole County, FL. I extend my condolences to Bob's wife, Trudy, to his family and many friends.

I was pleased to have the privilege of calling Bob Sturm my friend. Robert J. Sturm: September 3, 1925 to September 14, 1993.
