  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Mr. James 
Aurora for his exceptional service to his community and the youth.
  James Aurora is a third generation of owners of the now famous 
Sonny's Collision Specialists in Queens, New York. This renowned 
business has been serving the Brooklyn community for 60 years and has 
gained a distinct reputation for quality customer service.
  Mr. Aurora has built an operation that employs 25 professionals that 
offer clients guaranteed personal attention. In the years that Mr. 
Aurora has been operating Sonny's Collision Specialists he has never 
known any unsatisfied customers. Every customer of Sonny's has only 
experienced top notch service in the most expeditious manner.
  Jimmy Aurora knows the importance of giving. Sonny's is not only a 
staple in the community for their expertise in auto body collisions, 
but they are famous for their giving spirit. Mr. Aurora on a yearly 
basis has sponsored cricket teams, baseball leagues, and boys' clubs, 
along with donating thousands of dollars towards autism awareness and 
the American Cancer Society. He has not only provided a necessary 
service to his community but he has found the means to give more to 
those in dire need.
  Mr. Aurora lives by the company's motto: ``Perfection is not an 
accident.'' Jimmy proudly represents his heritage and family legacy by 
ensuring that Sonny's Collision Specialists continues to be a leader 
and trendsetter in auto body collision work.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing the life 
and accomplishments of Mr. James Aurora.
