                      HONORING VICTOR V. SCUDIERY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSH D. HOLT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 11, 1999

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call the attention of my 
colleagues to a great humanitarian from central New Jersey, Victor V. 
Scudiery.
  Born and raised in Newark, NJ, Victor graduated from Seton Hall 
University, then served his nation in the U.S. Army on both active and 
reserve duty.
  In addition to his duties as president of Interstate Electronics, 
which is located at Airport Plaza in Hazlet, he can be found six or 
seven days a week at his corporate offices where he oversees the duties 
of several other business ventures located throughout the State and in 
Florida.
  In addition to his civic activities, he has always found time for 
other worthwhile causes. Victor is a tireless advocate for numerous 
charities, particularly for our State's oldest citizens, where he 
serves on the board of seven organizations.
  Mr. Scudiery is the chairman of the Bayshore Senior Day Center board 
of advisors. This organization is the lifeline to many area senior 
citizens, providing meals, companionship, and daily activities as an 
outlet for their loneliness.
  As chairman of the Buck Smith Memorial Foundation, he has overseen 
the granting of scholarships to deserving students.
  The Bayshore Hospital Health Care Center selected Victor as chairman 
of the Board of Trustees. His duties include acquisition of land and 
construction facilities for use in the health care field. Plans are 
well underway in the construction of a 75-unit assisted living 
facility.
  His devotion to these and many other worthwhile organizations has 
been recognized by countless honors by civic and charitable 
organizations throughout the State for his devotion to them.
  Browsing through his office you can find honors from such 
organizations as the Bayshore Senior Center, Brookdale College, Knights 
of Columbus, Society of St. Anthony of Padua, NAACP, numerous 
townships, and political organizations to name a few. Yet he is too 
humble to ever acknowledge the impact his contribution has made on 
these clubs and organizations.
  However, the pride of his life is his beautiful and talented 
daughter, Vici.
  Mr. Speaker, Victor Scudiery is an amazing man who sets an example of 
hard work, community involvement, and dedication that all of us can 
take a lesson from. I hope all of my colleagues in the House will join 
in recognizing Mr. Scudiery.
