                      Wednesday, September 6, 2017

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of the late Mr. Earl Wardlow of the Borough of Lawnside in New Jersey's 
First Congressional District--a U.S. military veteran, father and 
devoted community leader.
   Earl Wardlow was born September 23, 1940 to the late Mrs. Horstein 
Wardlow and Otheel ``Pip'' Wardlow in Oakland, Kentucky. He was 
educated in the Bowling Green Public School System, graduated high 
school in 1958, and enlisted in United States Navy in 1960. He served 
our country with distinction for four years.
   In 1965, Mr. Wardlow married Mary Ann Haskins in Boston, 
Massachusetts. The Wardlows would welcome two daughters into the world, 
and ultimately relocate to the historic Borough of Lawnside, New Jersey 
in 1971 where the Wardlows would establish themselves as a family 
committed to public service.
   After attending Camden County College and the former Glassboro State 
College, Mr. Wardlow started a 30 year career commitment to Public 
Service Electric & Gas Company.
  Mr. Wardlow would stay active in his retirement, driving local 
students to school for a transportation company.
   Mr. Wardlow's many contributions to his beloved community of 
Lawnside include serving on the following: committee for the Borough's 
Fourth of July festivities, Zoning Board Officer, Lawnside Board of 
Adjustments, Board Member of Mt. Peace Cemetery, and Lawnside Town 
Watch.
   Mr. Wardlow, affectionately known as ``Pop Pop'' to his relatives, 
leaves behind his beloved wife, the Honorable Mary Ann Wardlow, Mayor 
of Lawnside, as well as daughters, grandchildren extended family, and a 
grateful community.
   I ask you to join me honoring the memory of Earl Wardlow for his 
service to our country and his remarkable commitment to the community 
of Lawnside, New Jersey.
