                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 25, 2005

  Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
lifelong accomplishments of Jack Rosenberg. Mr. Rosenberg died January 
11, 2005, at the age of 84.
  A graduate of Milwaukee's Riverside High School, Jack Rosenberg went 
on to serve in the armed forces in WWII before settling into a long and 
successful business career. He led several corporate entities, and 
retired in 1995 after overseeing the national franchise of TeleCheck 
for over 18 years.
  Throughout his life Jack maintained a strong commitment to improving 
life in the City of Milwaukee. He had a great variety of interests and 
he never hesitated to offer hands-on leadership when needed. His 
concern for the needs of low income families is evident in his work 
with the COA Youth and Family Center. He received the Grand Avenue 
Leadership Award in recognition of his efforts to provide work 
opportunities and cultural experiences for people with disabilities. 
Several noted small businesses benefited from a loan fund he endowed 
with the Wisconsin Women's Business Initiative Corporation.
  His financial contributions to productive non-profit organizations 
working in the areas of arts, civil liberties, entrepreneurship, and 
education are too numerous to list.
  It saddens me to note the passing of such a committed and 
distinguished individual. I am pleased to have this opportunity to 
recognize Jack for these profound contributions to so many individuals, 
as well as the entire Milwaukee community.
