                         RECOGNIZING SAM SNIPES

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a legendary 
human being in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who is celebrating his 100th 
birthday.
  Morrisville resident Sam Snipes has lived a life defined by service 
and community. Following in his father's footsteps in the legal 
community, Sam founded the Yardley firm Snipes & Collins after 
graduating from Temple Law School and Haverford College.
  Sam served as a dedicated public servant for nearly three decades as 
the Falls Township solicitor. For his community service, Sam was 
honored with the United Way of Bucks County Founders Award and the Mark 
E. Goldberg Award from the Bucks County Bar Association, among many 
other distinctions.
  Sam truly embodies dedication to our home of Bucks County. He still 
lives on the Snipes Farm, where he grew up, makes frequent appearances 
in parades and other community events, and serves on several boards.
  Mr. Speaker, Sam is truly a legend, and we wish him a very happy 
100th birthday and thank him for being a bright beacon of hope in our 
community in so many ways.
  Happy birthday, Sam.
