                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 27, 2012

  Mr. CURSON of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. 
John Cubba, Finance Director for the Charter Township of Redford, on 
his retirement. As a Member of Congress, it is both my privilege and 
honor to recognize Mr. Cubba for his many years of service and his 
contributions which have enriched and strengthened our community.
  Mr. Cubba brings a lifetime of experience to his current position 
with the Charter Township of Redford, a career which began nearly 34 
years ago on the finance staff in the city of Detroit. In November of 
1987, Mr. Cubba was hired as the Finance Director for the Charter 
Township of Redford, and served with distinction in that position for 
the last 25 years. During a tenure which has seen many economic changes 
in the region, Mr. Cubba maintained a reputation of providing sound 
financial guidance which has promoted stability and progress in Redford 
Township.
  Mr. Cubba believes in his community and has shown a commitment which 
has exceeded the years of his tenure as Finance Director. Mr. Cubba has 
been a long-time member of the Redford Rotary, and is a past President. 
He has volunteered his time in a broad array of capacities in community 
organizations including The Goodfellow's Paper Drive, St. Valentine's 
Parish, Catholic Central, the Michigan Municipal Risk Management 
Authority, the Government Finance Officers Association, the Michigan 
Townships Association, Boy Scouts, March of Dimes, and the Clean-up 
Redford Township Committee, among others. In addition to his service to 
the community, Mr. Cubba is the proud husband to his wife Candy, father 
to four sons and a daughter, and proud grandfather to nine 
grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today to honor Mr. John 
Cubba for his dedicated public service. I wish him many more years of 
health, happiness, and productive service to our community.
