                       Thursday, December 2, 2021

  Mr. PERRY. Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize Mr. Larry J. 
Miller's retirement upon his 50 years of dedication and service to 
PeoplesBank, a Codorus Valley Company and its community. On December 
31, 2021, Mr. Miller will retire from the Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. 
Board of Directors, the parent company of PeoplesBank.
  On March 1, 1971, Larry joined PeoplesBank (then known as Peoples 
Bank of Glen Rock) as a management trainee. He was the youngest person 
to serve as a bank president in Pennsylvania when he became President 
of the bank at age 30 in 1981. He served in that role until 2016. In 
addition, he has served as director, President and Chief Executive 
Officer of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. from 1986 to October 1, 2021. 
His 50 years of service to PeoplesBank, the community and the banking 
industry has been nothing short of remarkable.
  When Larry Miller was hired, the bank had three branch locations and 
managed $23 million in assets. During his tenure, the bank's assets 
grew to over $2 billion. He led PeoplesBank's growth to become the 
largest bank with headquarters in York County. As CEO, he led the 
opening of 25, the relocation of four, the combining of one and the 
closure of three locations. In addition, he oversaw the purchase of two 
insurance companies, the creation of the mortgage and trust divisions, 
the development of corporate and administrative centers and the 
acquisition of four branch banks in Maryland. Fourteen limited-service 
facilities were also opened throughout his tenure.
  His dedication to and impact on York County is evident through his 
active involvement in the community, as he serves on various non-profit 
boards of directors in leadership capacities. Throughout his tenure, he 
has served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United Way 
of York County, the York County Economic Development Corporation, 
YorkCounts, the Cultural Alliance of York County, and Wellspan Heath 
System.
  Larry has been honored for his achievements and contributions through 
several recognition awards, including the York County Economic 
Alliance's Business Achievement Award, the Southern School District 
Foundation's distinguished Leader Award, the 2021 Distinguished 
Humanitarian Award Honoree by Penn-Mar Human Services, and his 
induction into the Central Penn Business Hall of Fame.
  I am proud to honor Mr. Larry J. Miller and recognize his important 
contributions to our communities throughout his five decades of 
leadership in York County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I wish 
him God's many blessings as he embarks upon his next adventure.
