                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 29, 1997

  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your attention 
Marco Cangialosi who is being honored by the Italian-American Police 
Officer's Association of New Jersey with the organization's Citizenship 
Award.
  Marco was born in Marineo, Palermo, Italy on September 23, 1933.
  In 1957, Marco came to the United States and immediately started 
working for a window manufacturing company. Five years later, after 
much hard work and many long hours, he and his brother opened a 
business of their own, Dor-Win Manufacturing. Widely known, Dor-Win 
offers a complete line of vinyl windows and doors.
  Marco married Angelina Guie in 1963, and has two daughters: Sarah, 
married to Fred Calderone; and Rosalba, married to Sal Scaravilli. He 
is also the proud grandfather of four grandchildren; Liana, Sal, Jr., 
Chiara, and Jack.
  In 1964, Marco became an American citizen and dedicated himself to 
helping others and his beloved adopted country. He has continued to 
give of himself ever since.
  Over the years, Marco has founded and been involved in many community 
and social events. He continues to contribute much of his time, effort, 
and money to numerous Italian-American organizations. Through his 
dedication and tireless efforts, Marco has achieved many distinguished 
awards and citations including the 1980 Kiwanis Club Man of the Year, 
the Humanitarian Award from the Italian Tribune in 1984. He was honored 
in the Columbus Day Parade, and received a silver medal from the 
Italian Ambassador for being voted one of the Top Ten Italian-American 
Citizens in the United States in 1986. His highest honor came when he 
received the title of Commendatore from the Republic of Italy in 1991.
  Marco's continued efforts to help others has become his way of life. 
His honor and sincerity has made him many friends and he has gained the 
respect of all who have had the pleasure of meeting him. Marco has 
proven that through hard work and dedication, the American dream can be 
realized.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, Marco's family 
and friends, and the Italian-American Police Officer's Association of 
New Jersey in recognizing the outstanding and invaluable service to the 
community of Marco Cangialosi.
