  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember the life 
of Jay A. Arcangeli.
  Jay Arcangeli was born on December 11, 1967 in Montour Falls, New 
York. He grew up on his family's dairy farm in Burdett, New York, where 
he developed his love for farming. To many, farming is a full time job. 
To Jay, farming was his passion. Jay would finish a full day of work to 
come home to his family and then tend to his cattle and crops. To his 
very last day, Jay chased his farming dreams.
  Jay was the model of hard work and public service. By day, Jay served 
as the Highway Deputy Superintendent for Schuyler County. Before taking 
his current position, Jay served as the Town of Hector Highway 
Superintendent and before that as the bridge foreman for Silverline 
Construction for over two decades. In his free time, Jay volunteered 
with the Burdett Fire Department. Whether he was on the clock or not, 
Jay was serving his community.
  Jay will be remembered as a husband, a father, and a friend to many. 
We salute him now and stand with his family in somber remembrance of 
his life, his love, and his passions. I thank him for his service and 
pray he will rest in peace.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to remember the life of Jay Arcangeli.
