                RECOGNIZING THE LIFE OF JONATHAN ROSADO

  (Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, Jonathan Rosado 
was a model citizen who generously shared his strong character and kind 
spirit through the act of teaching tennis to disadvantaged children.
  Jonathan fostered the Legacy Youth Tennis program's presence in the 
Hunting Park community, a groundbreaking addition to youth programming 
for this Philadelphia neighborhood. His steadfast commitment to 
community service has served as a tremendous benefit to the many lives 
he touched.
  Jonathan's sense of responsibility and dedication was instilled in 
him by his own childhood participation in the Legacy Youth Tennis 
program, and he chose to contribute those attributes right back into 
the program as he ascended into adulthood.
  Jonathan was tragically murdered last year. Although he is sorely 
missed by all, his bright spirit will continue to be felt in the 
Hunting Park neighborhood and in Philadelphia long into the future.
  I recognize Jonathan here on the floor of the House of 
Representatives, the people's House, so that his shining example can be 
more widely witnessed across the Nation.
