                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 16, 2019

  Mr. WALBERG. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Charlie Dunigan 
from Jackson, Michigan as he prepares to retire at the end of the year, 
completing a 42-year career in the construction industry.
  Started by Charlie's father, Joseph, Dunigan Brothers, Inc. is a 
well-respected underground construction company that has serviced the 
Jackson area and beyond for more than 70 years. Growing up, Charlie 
spent many nights and weekends working for the family-owned business 
prior to joining full-time after completing high school.
  Throughout his tenure, Charlie and Dunigan Brothers have largely 
specialized in various types of sewer and water construction projects, 
including building critical infrastructure around more than 20 lakes 
throughout Michigan. They played an important role in safeguarding the 
beauty and ecosystems of these lakes, something we take with great 
pride in the Great Lakes State.
  Despite the many notable projects he has overseen, Charlie would tell 
you the most fulfilling part of his career is the wonderful people he 
has worked with over the years.
  Charlie's days at Dunigan Brothers may be coming to an end, but his 
commitment to giving back and making the community a better place will 
be remembered for years to come.
  I congratulate Charlie on his long and distinguished career, and wish 
him a happy retirement with his wife, Laurie, and his children and 
grandchildren.
