                      Wednesday, November 19, 2008

  Mr. COSTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 75th birthday 
of Mr. Denis O'Sullivan, a wonderful brother-in-law, husband, and 
father. He is married to Elizabeth O'Sullivan, and has made his home in 
Mountain Lakes, New Jersey for the past 35 years.
  Denis was born December 2, 1933 in New York City at Lennox Hill 
Hospital. He was educated in New York State Schools and was founder-
owner of O'Sullivan Menu Publishing. His company started small, with a 
staff of less than 10, and grew to employ over 200 people in the United 
States and England.
  O'Sullivan Menu Publishing had a ground-breaking impact on the 
airline industry by providing the first comprehensive service for the 
creation and production of printed menus. These international menus 
were translated into 84 different languages.
  Since retirement in early 2008, Denis has been intently working for 
charitable and philanthropic causes. He currently serves on three 
individual boards in various capacities, including President. For many 
years he supported the fundraising activities of St. Clare's hospital 
in Denville, New Jersey. He is currently Vice-Chairman of the Board of 
the Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey, and maintains 
special interest in their Alzheimer's disease support facility.
  Denis is a loving and generous father of three as well as a step-
father of three. His unstinting support of education for all of these 
children has produced six college educations and three post-graduate 
degrees. Denis' six grandchildren are an enduring source of love, 
pride, and pleasure in his life.
  I thank Denis for the countless lives that he has touched through his 
many accomplishments. It is for these reasons that I join Denis 
O'Sullivan's family and friends in wishing him a blessed 75th birthday 
and continued health and happiness in the years to come.
