                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 30, 2014

  Mr. RENACCI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Bob Lapp for 
his nearly 40 years of service to The Timken Company. Since joining the 
company in 1975, he has served in a number of unique positions, ranging 
from supervising general accounting to investor relations and public 
affairs. As the outgoing Vice President for Government Affairs and 
Community Relations, he leaves behind a legacy of trustworthiness, 
honesty, and reliability that made him an asset to not only The Timken 
Company, but to Northeast Ohio. I consider Bob a friend and I am 
grateful for his counsel throughout my time in office. I know I can 
always count on Bob to provide me with accurate, relevant information 
about an issue, putting aside politics and getting to the heart of good 
policy.
  Born and raised in Coshocton, Ohio, Bob is a graduate of two great 
Ohio schools, earning his bachelor's degree from Miami University and 
his master's degree from the University of Akron. An active member of 
our local community, Bob has served on the board of several 
organizations including the Ohio Manufacturers Association, Stark 
County Government Leadership Academy, and the Ohio Steel Council. He 
also has chaired the Ohio Prosperity Project, an organization that 
educates and informs Ohioans about public policy issues and elections.
  Bob's retirement will allow him to spend more time with his family, 
especially Kaci and his six-month-old granddaughter, Kyli.
  I'd like to thank Bob for his years of hard work and wish him nothing 
but the best in retirement.
