                      Wednesday, November 29, 2017

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to remember the life of 
James Salvatore ``Doc'' Pipino who died on November 21, 2017 at his 
home, surrounded by his family.
  Doc was born on July 30, 1934 to Salvatore Rock and Mary Frances 
(Rizzi) Pipino. He graduated from St. Mary's High School in Warren, 
Ohio. After playing collegiate football and graduating from John 
Carroll University, he became a teacher and coach at St. Mary's High 
School. In 1960, he joined his brother, Don, in the insurance industry, 
where he spent the remainder of his professional career, earning 
multiple professional insurance designations along the way. He was also 
involved in a variety of business ventures, including his ownership of 
Fonderlac Country Club and Niles Restaurant Business, Inc., a local 
Arby's franchisee, of which Mr. Pipino was chairman of the board at the 
time of his death. He also served as a member of the Board of 
Southwoods Surgery Center.
  Outside of his professional life, he was an active participant in a 
variety of civic, community, and faith activities. He was a member of 
the Boards for the Easter Seals and Niles Community Services. He also 
served as the president of the Trumbull Country Club, chairman of 
values and visions for John F. Kennedy Catholic Schools, and president 
of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Council (Niles, Ohio). In addition, 
he enjoyed volunteering as a basketball coach of boy's and girl's teams 
for Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Blessed Sacrament, and St. Mary's 
schools. Lastly, Doc was recognized for several honors and awards 
including the Golden Eagle Distinguished Alumni Award from St. Mary's/
John F. Kennedy Catholic Schools, the Mahoning Valley Italian American 
Sports Hall of Fame Man of the Year, and he was inducted into the 
Warren Sports Hall of Fame.
  He will be dearly missed by his wife of 58 years, Patricia Ann; his 
sons, Atty. James D. (Mary Jeanine), Theodore S. and Atty. Samuel M. 
(Kimberly Kirtland) and his daughter, Mary F. ``Mimi'' Pipino, Ph.D.; 
grandchildren, James A. (Lynsey Harris), Elena Dean (Michael), Marisa, 
Dana, Matthew, Daniel, Camille and Lorenzo Pipino, and Cailin Jaspers; 
his brother-in-law, Dr. Theodore (Cheryl) Gabig, and numerous nieces 
and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, 
Donald P.; his sister-in-law, Delores, and many beloved aunts, uncles, 
and cousins.
  Doc was a valued member of the community and will be deeply missed. I 
extend my sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
