  Ms. HAHN. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor the memory of Salvatore 
``Sam'' Ciaramitaro, who passed away on November 27, 2012, at 73 years 
of age. Sam was born on March 22, 1939, in his native town of 
Terrasini, Sicily. He was a long-term resident of San Pedro, where he 
was married and raised his children. During his time in San Pedro, he 
worked as a commercial fisherman and was known for having the sharpest 
eyes on the ocean.
  Sam was a master of many trades. He poured his heart into any task 
and completed each and every one with perfection and precision. He was 
his happiest when spending time with his children and grandchildren who 
were his pride and joy.
  Sam Ciaramitaro is survived by his wife Grace; his daughter Geralyn 
and her husband, the recently elected Los Angeles Councilman Joe 
Buscaino who represents the 15th Council District in the City of Los 
Angeles; his daughter Mary Cammareri and her husband Mike Cammareri; 
his son Donny Ciaramitaro and his wife Sandra Ciaramitaro; his daughter 
Anna Moore; and his seven grandchildren, Paola, Gracelyn, Sammy, 
Brandon, Matteo, Gia, and Lucas. He will be truly missed by his friends 
and loved ones.
