  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize John Louth, Jr., 
a forty-year member of the United Association, and an outstanding 
member of the community. On September 10, 2011, members of the Plumbers 
and Pipefitters Local Union Number 9 will honor Mr. Louth at the Annual 
Dinner Dance in New Brunswick, New Jersey. His commitment to serve the 
members of the community is truly worthy of this body's recognition.
  Mr. Louth is an active member in the Middlesex County community. Mr. 
Louth served his apprenticeship with Local 432 in New Brunswick, New 
Jersey and, subsequently, became a member. Upon graduation in 1976, he 
became a Local 432 journeyman. In 1994, Mr. Louth was elected to the 
Executive Board of the newly created Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 
Union Number 9. Mr. Louth was also elected delegate to the United 
Association's convention in 1996. He was also elected Business Agent in 
1997 and held this position for thirteen years until his retirement in 
2010. Mr. Louth was also a member of the Middlesex County Building 
Trades and the New Jersey Pipe Trades.
  He has proudly served as an active member of the New Brunswick Elks 
for thirty years and is currently enjoying his retirement in Midway 
Beach. John is also happily married to his wife Joanne for twenty-six 
years and has raised four children, Kelli, Eric, Marc, and Michael. 
John is an avid Yankees and Giants football fan and enjoys following 
Rutgers, and Notre Dame college football.
  Mr. Speaker, once again please join me in congratulating Mr. John 
Louth, Jr. for his forty years of service and thanking him for his 
outstanding dedication to the residents of New Jersey.
