                          HON. JAMES A. BARCIA

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 5, 1994

  Mr. BARCIA of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
1st Lt. Ron Mattioli who is retiring from the Michigan State Police 
after 25 years of service.
  First Lieutenant Mattioli graduated from Iron River High School in 
1965 and then served his country in the U.S. Navy from 1965 to 1968. 
First Lieutenant Mattioli did a tour of Vietnam where he received the 
Vietnamese Service Medal and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.
  Ron enlisted with the Michigan State Police on September 14, 1969. 
His first post was Ionia, then Bridgeport, and then he was promoted to 
desk sergeant at Flat Rock. From there Ron became a detective/sergeant 
at CID Livonia. East Tawas has had the good fortune of having First 
Lieutenant Mattioli as its post commander since 1992. Throughout his 
career the awards and commendations bestowed upon Ron are too numerous 
to mention, however, as a sampling he received three State Police 
Citations for Professional Excellence, two State Police Citations for 
Lifesaving, and the City of Highland Park Meritorious Service Award. 
Ron is also a past president of the Genesee County Detective's 
Association.
  In addition to his professional career, Ron has given to the 
community by being a member of the Tawas Kiwanis and the Veterans of 
Foreign Wars as well as an active member of the Immaculate Heart 
Catholic Church.
  Ron will be with his wife Julie and their children Ryan and Lauren 
upon his retirement. Ron is the son of Falio and Mary Mattioli and has 
two brothers Tom, a lieutenant in the Michigan State Police, and Jerry, 
a former Michigan State Police and DEA agent, as well as two sisters 
Ann and Catherine.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank 1st Lt. Ron Mattioli for all of 
his hard work and service to the people of Michigan and I would like to 
wish him a very happy, restful and well-deserved retirement.
