  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Mr. Floyd 
Benninghoff, who reached the milestone of his 100th birthday on June 
12th, 2014.
  Mr. Benninghoff was born in Hamlet, IN as 1 of 9 brothers and sisters 
and spent most of his life as a Hoosier. He is the father to Ronald 
Benninghoff and Lynn Kline, a grandfather to 5 grandchildren and a 
great grandfather to 14. During World War II he served his country as 
an airplane technician, then spent the next several years as a delivery 
driver for the Jewel Tea Company before retiring from Sears. He is well 
known by his family and friends for his love of music and his guitar 
playing abilities.
  I am honored to wish Mr. Floyd Benninghoff a very happy 100th 
birthday and to recognize his admirable life. On behalf of Indiana's 
Second District, I am proud to recognize Mr. Benninghoff's birthday and 
life and wish him good health and many more birthdays.
