HONORING CENTRE COUNTY JUDGE DAVID GRINE

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 95 (Thursday, June 4, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 95 (Thursday, June 4, 2026)] [House] [Pages H3894-H3895] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING CENTRE COUNTY JUDGE DAVID GRINE (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember retired Centre County Judge David Grine, who passed away in May at the age of 81. From an early age, David dedicated his life to public service, enlisting in the Army following his graduation from State College Area High School, and he later served as a police officer. A proud Penn State alumnus, David earned a bachelor's degree and later graduated from the Dickinson Law School. In the late seventies, he served as Centre County District Attorney and was a judge of the Centre County Court of Common Pleas. From 2008 to 2012, he served as president judge and was appointed senior judge status in 2021. In his final retention vote in 2011, more than 85 percent of Centre County [[Page H3895]] voters said he deserved another 10-year term. David is survived by Karen Grine, his wife of 55 years; his two children; and his four grandchildren. Mr. Speaker, David was a mentor to generations of aspiring attorneys and judges and leaves behind an enduring legacy of public service in Centre County. God bless David and his family. ____________________
