                          HON. DONALD NORCROSS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 28, 2018

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the achievements of 
Carr & Duff, Inc, its founders Edward Duff and Harold Carr, and the 
tireless lineman they employ, as the company celebrates the 60th 
anniversary of the company.
  I have a special connection to this company--as a young man, Edward 
Duff and Harold Carr were gracious enough to hire me. I worked in a 
variety of roles for the company, including journeyman, foreman and 
high voltage lead splicer. I can tell you firsthand that Carr & Duff is 
a company that truly sets the industry standard in hard work and 
dedication. And as I moved on to other positions in my life, the skills 
I acquired in my time with Carr & Duff stayed with me--shaping me as a 
leader and providing me with an invaluable foundation and experience.
  The story of Carr & Duff is one not only of business success, but 
also unsurpassed excellence in the field of community service. The men 
and women employed at this company have shown us time and time again 
that they are willing to go above and beyond in the name of excellent 
customer service, and they have been a lifeline to both of our 
districts, as well as the Tri-state Area, throughout the company's 
history.
  The company is renowned for going the extra mile in times of 
emergency. During storms, floods, and severe snow, the incredibly 
skilled electricians at Carr & Duff have proven themselves invaluable--
working long hours to restore power to impacted communities. Carr & 
Duff has such a large supply of transformers and generators that they 
are often able to loan out their stock to local utility companies in 
times of need. The people of Carr & Duff think nothing of it--it's just 
another opportunity for them to help their neighbors any way they can.
  I ask you to join me in celebrating the impact that Carr & Duff 
Incorporated has made during its sixty-year history, and honoring the 
transformative legacy of a company that has truly shaped the Camden and 
Philadelphia area for more than half a century.
