  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, I hereby offer my heartfelt condolences to the family, 
friends, and community of George Tozzi, Sr.; and
  Whereas, George Tozzi, Sr. was a retired meat cutter with Kroger 
company, the former owner of the Tee-Pee in West Bellaire, and former 
owner of Phillip's Trailer Court; and
  Whereas, George Tozzi, Sr. was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church 
in St. Clairsville, the Knights of Columbus, Board of Directors for A 
Special Wish Foundation, former member of the Bellaire Civil Service 
Commission, and American Legion Post 52 of Bellaire; and
  Whereas, George Tozzi, Sr. bravely defended our country for four 
years aboard the U.S.S. Nashville in the Pacific Theater of World War 
II; and
  Whereas, the understanding and caring to which he gave to others will 
stand as a monument to a truly fine person. His life and example 
inspired all who knew him.
  Therefore, while I understand how words cannot express our grief at 
this most trying of times, I offer this token of profound sympathy to 
the family, friends, and colleagues of George Tozzi, Sr.
