                         HON. THOMAS J. MANTON

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 5, 1994

  Mr. MANTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Noel Casey, 
who was honored by the Irish Northern Aid Committee on February 18, 
1994 at the Crystal Palace in Astoria, NY.
  Noel Casey is a carpenter and shop steward for the United Brotherhood 
of Carpenters Local 608. He organized fellow workers to donate time and 
expertise to the building of 3,000 square feet of space for Sunnyside 
Community Services as well as a gym for the children of St. Teresa's 
parish.
  Noel Casey was born and raised in Quilty, County Clare, Ireland. He 
immigrated to the United States of America in 1963 and worked in hotels 
before joining the Carpenters Union as an apprentice in 1969. Mr. Casey 
resided in Woodside until the Spring of 1993 when he moved to College 
Point.
  Noel Casey has been honored by the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce and 
has received the Community Service Award for the Anoroc Democratic 
Club. He recently was honored by the Sunnyside Community Services.
  Mr. Casey has given tirelessly of his time and was instrumental in 
his community in the revival of Thompson Hill Park. As president of the 
108th Precinct Community Council he led the way for safety in the 
Sunnyside neighborhood, forming a veteran's patrol. He has received 
many awards for his efforts from the Police Benevolent Association, 
Mayor's office, and the Queens' Borough President's office.
  Noel is a widower, and has a son who also follows his father as a 
carpenter. Mr. Noel Casey will be marrying Connie Hein this coming 
spring. Mr. Speaker, I know my colleagues join me in congratulating Mr. 
Casey as a leader in the Irish community.
