                       IN HONOR OF JULIUS STORTI

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 31, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Julius Storti, upon his retirement from Transformer Engineering 
Corporation (TEC). His tenure at TEC spans sixty-three years, and is 
framed by integrity, innovation, excellence, friendship and unwavering 
loyalty and dedication.
  Mr. Storti began working at TEC in the summer of 1943, while still in 
high school. His interest in electrical work was sparked while a 
student at Lincoln High School, where he assisted a teacher with an 
electrical course. At TEC, Mr. Storti became highly skilled in all 
areas, yet his primary work and expertise focused on hand & multiple 
winding, an area in which he is considered an expert.
  A devoted family man, Mr. Storti was also surrounded by family and 
friends at TEC. He met his wife, Dorothy at TEC, and lovingly cared for 
her until her recent passing. Together they raised their daughter, 
Anne. He also worked alongside his childhood friend, George Kolsenicky, 
and his brother-in-law, the late Paul Yachanin. Mr. Storti's kind and 
humble nature consistently shone through at TEC, and his professional 
integrity and strong work ethic never wavered. Although a talented and 
dedicated employee, the center of Mr. Storti's life continues to be his 
family and close friends.
  Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and celebration of 
Mr. Julius Storti, whose sixty-three year tenure at Transformer 
Engineering Corporation is defined by kindness, patience, expertise and 
willingness to extend a helping hand to anyone in need. Mr. Storti 
created bonds of friendship at TEC that will never be broken, and he 
will be deeply missed by all. I wish Mr. Storti and his family an 
abundance of health, peace and happiness as he journeys onward from 
here.
