                       Wednesday, April 11, 2018

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the memory of John T. 
Glasson. Known by many as ``Johnny Angel'' he had an infectious smile. 
For 47 years John was a volunteer firefighter with Levittown Fire 
Company No. 2 where he served for some time as Deputy Chief. An active 
member of his community, John was a third-degree brother with the 
Knights of Columbus and helped to organize the South East Pennsylvania 
National Fallen Firefighter Foundation golf outings as well as raising 
funds for Local 22 IAFF Widow's Fund. In total, John helped raise over 
$180,000 for charitable organizations. John will be forever remembered 
by his large family including many brothers and sisters but also by the 
handful of individuals whose lives he saved as a volunteer firefighter. 
While John did not like to recount those stories, his impact on the 
Lower Bucks community will be felt for generations to come. Mr. 
Speaker, John exemplified how active participants can be a force for 
good in their communities. My district is better because of men like 
John Glasson.
