       RECOGNIZING ED LOMASNEY OF THE BURTCHVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT

  (Mr. MITCHELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MITCHELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ed Lomasney 
for his 60 years of dedicated service to the Burtchville, Michigan, 
fire department.
  Mr. Lomasney became a firefighter following in the footsteps of his 
father, who helped found the Burtchville Fire Department. Over the last 
60 years, Ed has served as a volunteer firefighter and has been 
instrumental in growing the firehouse through his time, resources, and 
mentorship.
  In addition to volunteering with the fire department, Ed worked and 
retired from DTE Energy. He is a devoted husband to his wife, Mary 
Nell, and loving father to their three children.
  For six decades, Ed has been a mainstay of the department, and he 
will be missed by all. Although Ed may be retiring from the fire 
department, we all know he will remain involved in the community to 
make an impact on all of Burtchville.
  Madam Speaker, I join the Burtchville community in thanking him for 
his dedication and his 60 years of service and wish him the best in his 
retirement.
