  Mr. LYNCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to John and Susan 
Burke who will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary on August 
6, 2016.
  John and Susan were married at Saint Gregory's Church in Dorchester, 
MA. on August 6, 1966. Susan attended St. Gregory's High School and 
graduated from Boston State Teachers College. John grew up in South 
Boston, attended Boston Technical High School, graduated from the 
University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and served our country in the 
U.S. Army for three years. Upon his return home, John worked for the 
Boston Edison Company and was former Congressman Joe Moakley's 
Administrative Assistant.
  John and Susan are proud parents of their two daughters, Courtney 
Murray and Patricia Lombardozzi and are blessed with five grandsons; 
Michael, Patrick and John Murray and Declan and Luke Lombardozzi as 
well their two son-in-laws, Tim Murray and Santiago Lombardozzi.
  Mr. Speaker, I have known John and his brothers, Gerry, Kevin, Tim, 
Patrick and Brian for nearly four decades, they are a proud South 
Boston family. It is truly an honor and a pleasure to be able to share 
in this joyous occasion with a great couple and a wonderful family. I 
know that John and Susan are looking forward to celebrating their 50 
years of marriage next month with their friends and family and I want 
to again congratulate them both on this wondrous occasion.
