                         HON. TIMOTHY H. BISHOP

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 4, 2006

  Mr. BISHOP of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a beloved 
constituent and community leader, Mrs. Phyllis McCarrick, of Rocky 
Point, New York, who recently passed away at the age of eighty-three.
  Born Phyllis Healy in Arlington, Massachusetts, she served in the 
Navy during World War II and later settled in Rocky Point with her 
childhood sweetheart and husband, Mr. Thomas McCarrick. After running a 
milk delivery service, Phyllis and her husband opened the McCarrick 
Dairy and Grocery store, which grew into a beloved landmark in our 
community, and is owned and operated by their sons today.
  Named Rocky Point's Citizen of the Year in 1999, Phyllis raised money 
for Catholic charities and was a Cub Scout den mother in addition to 
running a successful business. Her enduring contributions to eastern 
Long Island will always be remembered by our community with fondness 
and deep gratitude.
  Phyllis is survived by eight children, nineteen grandchildren and one 
great-grandchild. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of New York's First 
Congressional District, I express our profound sorrow following 
Phyllis' passing as well as the gratitude of our community, which will 
always remember her extraordinary life and lifelong dedication to Rocky 
Point, New York.
