                   HONORING THE LIFE OF LOU GALLIKER

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
life of Lou Galliker, the longtime president of Galliker Dairy Company, 
who passed away in December surrounded by his family. He was 87 years 
old.
  The Galliker Dairy Company is a third-generation, family-owned, 
regional dairy company headquartered in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, since 
1914. Lou was chairman and president for more than half a century. He 
turned his family's dairy business into one of the largest enterprises 
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the mid-Atlantic region.
  Galliker Dairy distributes ice cream, milk, iced tea, and other 
beverages throughout several States.
  Mr. Speaker, Lou was a giant of the dairy world who served as a board

member of the International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers and 
as a president of the Quality Chekd independent dairy processors 
cooperative.
  He was equally devoted to the Johnstown community, which he served in 
various capacities over the years. As president of the Chamber of 
Commerce and the greater Johnstown Jaycees and a board member of 
several other organizations, Lou was always committed to the region's 
success.

  Lou Galliker was an incredible force for good in the Johnstown 
region, and he leaves a legacy that will be remembered for years to 
come. My prayers are with his family.
