                        TRIBUTE TO FRED GENTILE

                                 ______


                          HON. SUSAN MOLINARI

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 12, 1994

  Ms. MOLINARI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to honor 
one of Brooklyn's most outstanding and respected citizens, Mr. Fred 
Gentile. Mr. Gentile has been enhancing the Brooklyn community since he 
was born there in 1929.
  A recent retiree, Mr. Gentile worked for the Brooklyn Union Gas 
Company for 34 years. In addition to serving as the company's senior 
vice president, Mr. Gentile actively served the American Gas 
Association, both on the Accounting Advisory Council and the taxation 
committee. He also belonged to the Society of Gas Lighting, and the New 
York chapter of the Financial Executive Institute.
  With those credentials, it is hard to believe that Mr. Gentile found 
so much time and energy for nonbusiness-related community service 
projects, like the Boys and Girls Clubs which he has worked with since 
1979. He is currently serving on the board of managers for the Brooklyn 
chapter which oversees 3 clubhouses. Mr. Gentile also worked as a 
trustee, and audit committee chairman for the Brooklyn Methodist 
Hospital. In addition to this Mr. Gentile has served as parish council 
president at the Our Lady of Grace Church in Brooklyn.
  I would like to join his wife Jane, and his two sons, Stephen and 
Matthew, in honoring this wonderful community participant, Mr. Fred 
Gentile.
  Mr. Speaker, thank you for granting me the opportunity to thank Mr. 
Gentile for everything he has added to the Brooklyn community.
