     HONORING THE LIFE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF SALVATORE A. CELLUCCI

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 25, 2013

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mr. 
Salvatore A. Cellucci. Mr. Cellucci was an outstanding public servant 
and a valuable member of our community. He was a loving family man, 
coming from a large family of distinguished veterans. He truly 
understood the meaning of service to one's country.
  Mr. Cellucci was an early pioneer in the Information Technology 
field. His keen intellect and expertise enabled our country to benefit 
from the early days of Electronic Data Processing, which is vital to 
the protection of our nation. Mr. Cellucci also worked with the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff, the Strategic Air Command, NORAD, the government of 
Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. His leadership in 
the transformational deployment of advanced computer systems enabled 
government and military leaders to reach critical decisions faster and 
more effectively than previously thought possible.
  Mr. Cellucci's professional accomplishments were only matched by his 
steadfast commitment to helping those less fortunate in our community. 
He participated in numerous organizations and activities to forge 
positive relationships between people of different religious faiths.
  Mr. Speaker, Salvatore Cellucci is a role model for all of the people 
in the first Congressional District of New Jersey. His dedication to 
our country inspired many to serve our nation with distinction. I rise 
with the rest of South Jersey to honor Salvatore Cellucci for his 
outstanding commitment to his community. I offer Mr. Cellucci's family 
my condolences in their time of mourning; he will surely be missed.
