                       HONORING JOSEPH BOMMARITO

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. THADDEUS G. McCOTTER

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 1, 2004

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Joseph Bommarito 
upon his retirement after 32 years of service to our community.
  Since his family moved to Redford when he was just 10 years old, Joe 
has been a staple in our community. Before accepting the appointment as 
Deputy Supervisor in January of 1997, Joe served the Redford Township 
Police Department for 25 years in the capacities of patrolman, 
sergeant, lieutenant and inspector. Joe's impact was immediately felt 
as he successfully negotiated cost saving contracts and gave the 
Townhall a new look.
  His wife, Carol, and his sons, Joseph, Tony, Michael and Bryan, 
should be extremely proud of the undeniable mark he has left on the 
community. We at home will sorely miss and always benefit from his 
dedication and leadership.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my sincere appreciation to Mr. Joseph 
Bommarito, upon his retirement as Deputy Supervisor of Redford 
Township, for his fine service to our community and our country.
