                       TRIBUTE TO HARRY QUADRACCI

 Mr. FEINGOLD. Mr. President, I pay tribute to a Wisconsinite 
who died tragically this week, but whose life and work will be long 
remembered.
  Harry Quadracci was many things: an entrepreneur, an innovator, a 
community leader, a committed philanthropist, and a dedicated husband 
and father. Harry lived an extraordinary and exemplary life. The 
founder and president of Quad/Graphics, Harry started from scratch, 
building a printing business which has become a dominant force in the 
industry and the largest privately held business of its kind in North 
America. He brought thousands of jobs to Wisconsin and was renowned as 
an outstanding employer.
  As a community leader, Harry leaves a tremendous legacy to the 
Milwaukee area and to the entire State of Wisconsin. He and his wife 
Betty Quadracci pledged $10 million toward the beautiful new addition 
to the Milwaukee Art Museum. They also gave generously to many other 
causes, including the Milwaukee Repertory Theater and the restoration 
of St. Josaphat's Basilica in Milwaukee.
  Harry Quadracci's passing is a great loss to all those who knew him 
and all those whose lives were touched by his many good works. I am 
deeply saddened by his passing, but I know that his leadership and 
generosity have left a lasting mark on our State. He will be remembered 
for many years to come.
