                     HONORING EDWARD J. MOSES, ESQ.

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 29, 2019

  Mr. KATKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Edward J. Moses, 
Esq., who was recently named the ``2019 Distinguished Lawyer'' by the 
Onondaga County Bar Association.
  In his career extending over 50 years as an attorney, Edward Moses 
has been known for his uncompromising ethic, client-focused approach, 
and loyalty to his firm Mackenzie Hughes, LLP, where he has spent his 
entire legal career. Across the legal profession, Edward Moses has 
garnered admiration from his peers, competing lawyers, and respected 
judges. For this reason, in 2016 and 2018, Edward Moses received the 
distinction of ``Syracuse Lawyer of the Year'' in corporate law.
  In 1968, Edward Moses began his career in law with Mackenzie Hughes, 
LLP, immediately following his graduation from Syracuse University 
College of Law. However, within only two weeks of his start date, 
Edward Moses put his career on hold to fulfill the commitment he made 
to the United States Coast Guard. For ten weeks, he attended boot camp 
at Cape May, New Jersey, before returning home to Central New York in 
1969.
  Edward Moses and his wife, Elana, have five sons and reside in 
Otisco, New York. He is known for his commitment to his family--and 
while he frequently works six days a week, he never misses a family 
dinner or sporting event for his sons.
  Devoted to his faith, Edward Moses is active in St. Patrick's Church 
in Otisco. Additionally, he is a deeply involved alumni of Christian 
Brothers Academy and Georgetown University, where he received his 
undergraduate degree and played football, lacrosse, and baseball. For 
nearly 40 years, Edward Moses has served with distinction on the 
Christian Brothers Academy Board of Trustees. In this role, he notably 
oversaw improvements to its campus and played an instrumental role in 
transforming the school into a coed institution.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me in 
honoring Edward J. Moses, Esq. A devoted family-man, and highly 
respected figure in our Central New York community, Edward Moses has 
served with great distinction in the legal profession and is highly 
deserving of this honor.
