                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 30, 1996

  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness 
that I rise today to honor and pay tribute to a man who devoted much of 
his life to helping and improving the lives of others through his 
dedication to the fire service. Andrew P. Hogan, a lifelong member of 
the fire service, passed away recently in his home in Woodlyn, PA on 
April 20, 1996.
  A member of the fire service for over 40 years, Andy was a key leader 
in the State and national effort to improve the public's recognition of 
the fire community. Andy served as a lifetime member of the Woodlyn and 
Milmont fire companies, belonged to the board of directors of the 
Milmont fire company, and was active in the Pennsylvania State 
Firemen's Association, the Pennsylvania State Fire Police Association, 
the Keystone State Fire Chief's Association, and the Delaware County 
Fire Police Association.
  During his many years of service, Andy was honored for his dedication 
and work on numerous occasions. In 1980, he was named Fireman of the 
Year by Ridley Township. Andy was also honored in 1991 by the 
Pennsylvania State Firemen's Association who awarded him first place in 
their Fire Prevention Awards.
  Andy took great pride in his involvement in the fire community. 
Because of his efforts, the fire service in Pennsylvania and throughout 
the United States is better off. Mr. Speaker, I know you and my 
colleagues join me today in celebrating the many accomplishments and 
achievements of Andrew Hogan and in honoring his memory.
