                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2017

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my sorrow 
at the loss of my friend Louis Farinella. Lou was one of the most 
dynamic men I know.
  He worked his way up from the bottom of the Philadelphia Electric 
Company to the post of Administration Manager. That was a sign of his 
talent.
  He was a Democratic Committeeman in the Ward 66 B for 45 years. He 
was also Chairman of the Parkwood Civic Association Zoning Committee. 
Those were signs of his commitment to his community.
  He worked for me at the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee for 22 
years. That was a sign of his loyalty.
  But most of all, Lou was Florence's loving husband for 56 years. They 
had two children, Louis III and John and four grandchildren, John, 
Ryan, Tyler and Angela. He loved and was loved by his sister, Marie. 
Those were all signs of his heart.
  Mr. Speaker, Lou probably never knew how important he was to me. But, 
I know it. I miss him and I ask all of my colleagues to join me in 
giving the condolences of the House of Representatives to his family.
