                          TRIBUTE TO AL GLICK

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Michigan (Mr. Walberg) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to my good friend, Al 
Glick, who recently passed away at the age of 95. Very few have meant 
as much to the Jackson, Michigan, community as Al Glick.
  Alro Steel, a company founded nearly 75 years ago, embodies the 
hardworking ethos of his hometown. Over the years, under Al's 
leadership, the company grew to 3,000 employees in over a dozen States. 
Al always exhibited a tireless work ethic but spent the time to talk to 
and to know each of his employees. When asked about his retirement, he 
said: ``I have slowed down to working part-time, I only work 12 hours a 
day.'' Even still, he always found time to get involved in just about 
every effort under the sun.
  Al supported skilled education programs, nonprofits, and C.S. Mott 
Children's Hospital, just to name a few. Name a sport and Al likely 
sponsored a team or league in the Jackson area. Al's generosity was 
felt throughout the Jackson community, often taking shape through his 
unwavering support of Jackson High School.
  A Michigan man through and through, Al got to see his beloved 
Wolverines take down Ohio State on a snowy day this past November and 
then win the Big Ten Championship.
  Al wasn't just a staple of the Jackson community; he was a steel 
pillar.
  While we mourn Al's passing, we celebrate his remarkable life and the 
legacy that will live on for generations to come. We wish his family 
great joy in that legacy and thank them for sharing Al with us.
