                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 13, 2017

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 
60th wedding anniversary of Joseph and Elaine Giallanza, which will be 
celebrated on September 21, 2017.
  Born in the 1930s Depression-era times, Joe and Elaine were married 
on September 21, 1957. Once married, Joe and Elaine employed a 
tremendous professional and personal work ethic, eventually founding 
the Giallanza Corporation, which developed and built residential 
housing throughout Western New York.
  But from their home in Elma, Joe and Elaine enjoyed their most prized 
possessions--the members of the large family they were proud to call 
their own. Joe and Elaine raised six children: Michael, Theresa, 
Thomas, Mary, Peterson and the late Joseph Giallanza. Theirs was a warm 
home full of laughter and affection, bound together by the examples of 
love, faith and hard work that Joe and Elaine set for their children. 
Today, Joe and Elaine are the proud grandparents of 13 grandchildren 
who will help them celebrate their anniversary on September 21.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join with me and all of our colleagues to 
wish Joe and Elaine Giallanza a very happy and healthy 60th wedding 
anniversary, and to extend to the Giallanza family the very best of 
health and happiness in the days, months and years to come.
