                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 9, 2006

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to stand here 
today to recognize Jim Maloney a remarkable citizen who will be honored 
on March 11, 2006, by Goin' South, a civic, social, and cultural 
organization based in South Buffalo, New York.
  Jim is a retired railroad conductor from South Buffalo, NY. He and 
his wife Delores have 4 children, 12 grandchildren and 3 great 
grandchildren. Mr. Maloney is actively involved at St. Thomas Aquinas 
Parish and serves as President of the S.T.A. Travel Club. He also 
volunteers his time to assist Bishop Timon/St. Jude High School in 
their fundraising efforts.
  Mr. Maloney's recent and most notable contribution to the South 
Buffalo community was unveiled in the summer of 2005 in the form of a 
Law Enforcement Memorial at McKinley Parkway and Abbott Road in Heacock 
Park. Jim and Delores Maloney's son Daniel died tragically in the line 
of duty and it was his heroic sacrifice that served as Jim's 
inspiration. He sought to create a visual reminder of the sacrifices 
that law enforcement officers make every day.
  Turning his vision into reality, Jim worked tirelessly with the help 
of friends to create the beautifully designed memorial which displays 
the names of over 70 fallen Western New York Law enforcement officers.
  Mr. Speaker, Jim Maloney is being honored as the recipient of the 
2006 Goin' South Civic Pride Award for his hard work, civic 
contributions and steadfast commitment to honoring Western New York's 
law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty. It is my 
distinct honor to recognize him here today.
