HON. PAT FALLON
of texas
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, March 9, 2021
Mr. FALLON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the honorable life and work of a beloved Texan, Mr. Richard Morris Biggs. Mr. Biggs passed away on February 14, 2021, after a full life of almost 77 years.
Richard Biggs was born in Garden City, Michigan on February 15, 1944 to the late Albert and Mae Smallwood Biggs. One of Mr. Biggs' proudest moments was playing basketball for Weatherford College and East Texas State University. He was the owner of Autumn Homes, and held an office with the Realtor Association. Richard is survived by his wife, Helen Biggs; children, Brenna Smith and husband Dave Jr., Brian Biggs and wife Karen and Anissa Smith and husband James; 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He will be dearly missed.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of Mr. Richard Biggs. His life was one of service and love for his family and friends. He will be missed by all he came across, and his legacy will be remembered for years to come.
