           RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF JUDGE DAVID TOBIN

                                 ______

                         Thursday, July 1, 2010

  Mr. WILSON of Ohio. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the 
judicial and civic contributions of Judge David Tobin. This month, 
Columbiana County is losing a great public servant. Judge Tobin devoted 
twenty-five years of his life to serving on Columbiana County Court of 
Common Pleas, the second longest tenure of any judge on the Court. His 
time spent on the bench and prior decade of service as a Columbiana 
County Prosecuting Attorney greatly benefited the citizens of 
Columbiana County.
  During his service, he had the honor of serving on the Ohio State Bar 
Association's Board of Character and Fitness as a Commissioner. He also 
worked hard to bring the Supreme Court of Ohio to the Columbiana County 
Courthouse to host a court session. These are just a few of the 
examples that illustrate the professional respect for Judge Tobin 
exhibited from Lisbon to Columbus.
  He was also greatly respected throughout the community. From 
community service through the Calcutta Rotary, to his work with the 
Calcutta Community Park Committee, to his various coaching positions, 
Judge Tobin exhibited a strong commitment to his community.
  The people of Columbiana County have been blessed by the long service 
of Judge Tobin, and upon his retirement this July, he will be sorely 
missed. I ask my colleagues today to join with me in honoring Judge 
Tobin, a respected judge and public servant who has been and will 
always be dedicated to the people of Columbiana County.
