                         Tuesday, May 25, 2010

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Charles Nunzio DelPizzo, a Veteran, a baker, a business owner and a 
locomotive engineer. Most importantly, he was a beloved husband, 
father, grandfather and friend.
  Mr. DelPizzo was the sixth of nine children born to Guiseppe and 
Angelina DelPizzo. As a young man, Mr. DelPizzo and his siblings were 
raised with the values of faith, family and hard work. He and his four 
brothers served in the military during World War II. Mr. DelPizzo 
earned the rank of Corporal in the United States Army, where he served 
as a baker in the 107th Quartermaster Bakery Company.
  Following his honorable discharge, Mr. DelPizzo combined his talent 
for baking with his entrepreneurial spirit. He and his young bride, 
Palma Antonia Santoro DelPizzo, started their own bakery in Garfield 
Heights. In addition to running his bakery, he also worked as a 
locomotive conductor and engineer with the Nickel Plate and Norfolk & 
Western Railroads.
  Mr. and Mrs. DelPizzo were married for 63 years before her passing in 
2006. Together, they raised their daughter, Paula, and welcomed their 
son-in-law, Andrew, into the family. Mr. DelPizzo was a loving 
grandfather to Angela, Melissa and Andrew, and was the great ``grumpy'' 
to Anthony, Talia and Larissa.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in recognizing Charles 
Nunzio DelPizzo, a man whose joyous life was framed by a love for 
family and a love of life. I offer my deepest condolences to his family 
and friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
