                         Tuesday, July 9, 2013

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Daniel B. 
Pulinski and Mrs. Stephanie M. Urbanczyk, lifelong residents of 
Lackawanna, on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary.
   The couple was wed on August 10, 1963 in a ceremony at St. Michael's 
Church, now Queen of Angels, in Lackawanna, New York.
   Daniel attended St. Barbara's elementary school and St. Francis High 
School, after which he nobly enlisted in the United States Army. After 
his service, he worked in the Bethlehem Steel plant, rising through the 
ranks to become a foreman. A dedicated family man, Daniel worked 
several more jobs to support his wife and children after the plant 
closed. He retired after working as a custodian in the auto tech 
division of Erie Community College.
   Stephanie attended St. Michael's elementary school and Lackawanna 
High School. After completing her education, she became a secretary for 
a Buffalo insurance company. While starting a family, she became a 
stay-at-home mother for a few years, returning to work at Hills 
Department Store. The store became Ames, where she rose to the position 
of Manager. Stephanie continues to work to this day, currently at 
Dollar General.
   Daniel and Stephanie raised four children together, Anita, Ronald, 
Denise, and Daniel. They are grandparents to eight beautiful 
grandchildren: Stephanie, Alanna, James, Rebecca, Danielle, Brandon, 
Nicholas, and Matthew.
   The couple enjoys spending family time with their grandchildren and 
traveling across the globe with their many friends. They continue to 
reside in Lackawanna, and are still active in Queen of Angels Church 
and the Buffalo Polish community.
   Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor for me to offer my sincerest 
congratulations to Daniel, Stephanie, and their family on this most 
joyous occasion. I ask my colleagues to join me to acknowledge their 
commitment to each other as they celebrate their Golden Anniversary, 
and offer our best wishes for continued happiness.
