    "Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Lewis County Legislator Rocky Fawcett.

    Rocky was a dedicated public servant who never stopped believing in the
    potential of Lewis County.

    Rocky was involved in many local causes and organizations such as the
    Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce, and
    the Lewis County Development Corporation.

    To all who knew him, Rocky was intelligent, driven, and deeply devoted to
    public service.

    Simply put: Rocky Fawcett set the gold standard for what it means to be a
    legislator.

    Rocky was a dear friend and always greeted me with a huge smile and a hug
    during my many constituent outreach events throughout Lewis County.

    I invite you to join me in keeping his wife, Mary, and his family in your thoughts
    and prayers.

    May we continue to honor his memory by being passionate advocates for our
    communities, in Lewis County and beyond.

    Thank you and I yield back."
