                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LOU BARLETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 26, 2018

  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Mr. Kenneth L. 
Tuckey, who is receiving the Cumberland County Friends of Scouting 
Award. I know I will be neither the first, nor the last, to applaud Mr. 
Tuckey for this well-deserved honor.
  The Friends of Scouting Award is given to individuals who have shown 
exceptional support for their local Boy Scouts of America programs. 
Cumberland County's division of Boy Scouts has chosen Mr. Tuckey as 
their honoree this year for his outstanding community service and his 
ambassadorship for the Boy Scouts.
  A lifelong resident of South Central Pennsylvania, Mr. Tuckey has 
long been a pillar of the Carlisle community. Throughout his storied 
career, he has helped his community both economically and through 
countless volunteer ventures.
  Mr. Tuckey owns and operates Tuckey Mechanical Services, Inc., Tuckey 
Metal Fabricators, Inc., and Tuckey Restorations, Inc. , and has led 
each of these companies to success. For instance, Tuckey Mechanical 
Services, Inc., just celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. He and 
his wife, Marsha, have two sons, Matthew and Nathan, who also work in 
the family businesses. Through his work, Mr. Tuckey has been integral 
in the revitalization and historic preservation of downtown Carlisle.
  Additionally, Mr. Tuckey contributes to his community as Board 
Chairman of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Pinnacle-
Carlisle's Board of Directors, and serves on many other non-profit 
boards, such as the Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation, 
the Cumberland County Industrial Development Authority, and the 
Pennsylvania State Workforce Investment Board.
  I believe we can all take a cue from Mr. Tuckey's inspiring story and 
his personal motto of ``service above self,'' as a guiding principle. 
This award is proof that hard work and quality service do not go 
unnoticed, and that a positive impact on the region is widely 
recognized.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Mr. Tuckey for all he has 
done and continues to do for the Carlisle community and congratulate 
him on receiving the Cumberland County Friends of Scouting Award.
