                       Thursday, January 5, 2017

  Mr. THOMAS J. ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the life of A. Warren Kulp, Jr., better known as Sonny, of Riviera 
Beach, Florida, who passed away on December 31st in West Palm Beach, 
Florida at the age of 81.
   Sonny's life was the American Dream personified; after graduating 
from Hilltown High School in Pennsylvania in 1953, he worked as a self-
employed dairy farmer for his entire life. He also earned his real 
estate license and worked as the head of the real estate department for 
eight years in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. After moving to Florida with 
his wife Judith, he worked at the Palm Beach Kennel Club until his 
retirement in 2007.
   Outside of work, Sonny pursued many different interests. He was a 
loyal, lifelong Republican and served as an officer and committee 
chairman for the Pennridge Republican Club. Sonny was a member of 
Trinity United Methodist Church in West Palm Beach and he was also an 
avid Steelers fan. We are deeply saddened by the loss of such a 
prominent and active member of our community.
   Sonny is survived by his loving wife Judith, his two sons Steven and 
Richard, his daughter, Patricia, and six grandchildren: Kiamesha, 
Brianna, Mary, Frances, Patrick III and Anthony.
   Mr. Speaker, my thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Kulp's family and 
loved ones as they mourn his passing. He will be greatly missed.
