                  TRIBUTE TO HARRY AND GERALDINE DUBEL

                                 ______


                            HON. JACK QUINN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 6, 1995
  Mr. QUINN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 65th wedding 
anniversary of Harry and Geraldine Dubel. Harry and the former 
Geraldine Solomon, who were both born in 1909, were married on 
September 10, 1930, at St. Stephen's Roman Catholic Church.
  Parents of 3 wonderful children, Rita, Henry Jr., and Robert, their 
family now proudly includes 13 grandchildren and 21 great 
grandchildren.
  Harry initially worked as a delivery man for the Bond Bread Co. and 
then worked in the grocery business. After 10 years, during which he 
studied the business, he and Geraldine opened their own family-owned 
and operated market. Their small market grew and prospered and became 
Buffalo's well-known ``Dubel's Supermarket.''
  After 54 years of hard work, Harry went into semiretirement: now he 
works only 6 days a week at the store with his sons who took over the 
family business years ago.
  Mr. Speaker, today I would like to join with Harry and Geraldine's 
family, colleagues, and innumerable friends throughout western New York 
to recognize and celebrate with them their 65-year commitment based on 
mutual love, faith, and respect. Harry and Geraldine Dubel are in 
inspiration to us all.
