            RECOGNIZING THE LEGACY OF HAROLD ``HAL'' SNOPEK

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the legacy of 
Harold ``Hal'' Snopek of Binghamton, New York. Mr. Hal Snopek was the 
beloved Chenango town supervisor and, sadly, passed away last month. 
Hal graduated from Chenango Forks High School, where he was a multiyear 
letterman, setting several school records, one which still stands 
today. He was inducted into the New York State Public High School Hall 
of Fame Athletic Association in 1991.
  Hal was also a devoted car salesman at JW Greene for over 25 years. 
He was appointed to the Chenango town board in 2004, and served as the 
town's current supervisor.
  Hal was deeply devoted to his family, leaving behind his loving wife 
and high school sweetheart, Donna, his daughters, Tami and Tina, four 
grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
  Along with being a dedicated public servant, Hal was a loving 
husband, dad, grandfather, and ``Pop Pop.'' He was a parishioner at the 
former St. Christopher's Church, where he and Donna were married 57 
years ago, and he was currently active at Most Holy Rosary.
  In his later years, Hal enjoyed driving all over town with his wife, 
Donna, in his 1932 Chevy. He was known as a Mr. Fix-It and loved to 
work on cars.
  Hal was also known for his warm heart and great sense of humor.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Hal's contributions to the 
town of Chenango over the past two decades. Our deepest condolences to 
Hal's family on the loss of an honored and beloved member of our 
community.
