  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Madam Speaker, I include in the Record the 
following obituary for Robert ``Bobby'' Donald Venti:

  Robert ``Bobby'' Donald Venti, 75, of East Hartford, beloved husband 
of Roberta A. (Farrell) Pacheco, passed away peacefully at home with 
his loving family by his side on Saturday, March 26, 2022. Born in 
Hartford on July 24, 1946, he was the son of the late Joseph and 
Eleanor (LaMacchia) Venti and had lived in the East Hartford area his 
entire life. Bobby was a graduate of East Hartford High School. He was 
a proud decorated veteran of the U.S. Army, serving during the Vietnam 
War, earning a Bronze Star medal. Bobby worked as a lithographer in the 
printing business for many years. He was a member of the Vietnam 
Veterans of America, Chapter 120 of Greater Hartford, American Legion 
Post #133 of South Windsor, and VFW Post #2046, where he was currently 
serving as Post Commander. He also belonged to the Army/Navy Club of 
Manchester and the Disabled American Veterans, Chapter 17. He was an 
organizer and Master of Ceremonies of the Manchester Veteran's Parade 
and was involved with Veteran's Row at the Manchester Road Race. Bobby 
was also an animal lover and an avid gardener, who was especially proud 
of his award winning roses.
  In addition to his wife Roberta, Bobby will be forever missed by his 
two sons, Adam Pacheco of Derby and Joshua Pacheco and wife Chelsea of 
Broad Brook; and his two adored grandchildren, Robert C. Pacheco and 
Caroline J. Pacheco, both of Broad Brook. He is also survived by his
