  Mr. LYNCH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of a man whose 
professional life has been dedicated to the skill of his trade and 
commitment to his fellow union members. John ``Jack'' J. Walsh, Jr. is 
a remarkable individual with a long and illustrious career in the 
Glaziers and Glassworkers Local 1044 of Boston, Massachusetts.
  Jack joined the Glaziers and Glassworkers Union on March 12, 1973. 
Throughout his tenure with Local 1044, Jack always exhibited a 
commitment to excellence in his trade and dedication to ensuring the 
welfare of his fellow union members.
  Jack has been equally dedicated to serving his local community. 
Notably, Jack served as a Boy Scout Troop Leader and is currently a 
member of both the Weymouth Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 2899 and 
the Loyal Order of Moose in Braintree.
  Despite his various accomplishments, Jack has always taken the 
greatest pride in his roles as a devoted husband and father. For the 
past 32 years, Jack has had the enormous pleasure and tremendous good 
fortune of being married to his beloved wife, Patty, and together, they 
are the proud and loving parents of Jonathan and Gregory.
  Madam Speaker, it is my distinct honor to take the Floor of the House 
today to join with Jack Walsh's family, friends and Brothers and 
Sisters of Labor to thank him for over 35 years of remarkable service 
to the American Labor Movement. I hope my colleagues will join me in 
celebrating Jack's distinguished career and wishing him good health and 
God's blessing in all his future endeavors.
