                        HONORING PETER PARUCCINI

                       Tuesday, January 31, 2023

  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
memory of Peter Paruccini of Yuba City. Mr. Paruccini, a loving father 
and devoted husband, was a bright light in Northern California that was 
tragically cut short, passing away at the age of 39. His footprint on 
our area was one of service. The North State has lost one of its 
heroes.
  Peter was a life-long resident of Yuba City, and although he split 
time between Santa Barbara and Yuba City, he always loved coming home 
to see the Sutter Buttes. Peter attended college at UC Davis where he 
received a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and Political Science. 
Peter continued to stay in the area, choosing to teach at an 
underserved junior high school in Davis. This was the beginning of 
Peter's lifelong call to serve.
  Later in life, Peter felt the call to serve our country in the 
military. Exchanging his teaching credentials for military boots, Peter 
joined the United States Army in 2006 serving as an Infantryman. During 
his military deployment, he stood out for dedication to serve with the 
utmost distinction, bravery, and honor. Peter's service is something we 
should all try to emulate.
  Upon his return from the military, Peter found a career in law 
enforcement. Peter worked in both the Bay Area and Ventura County 
before being recruited out of law enforcement to work with a large 
utility company thanks to his expertise in project/product management 
and logistics.
  My heartfelt condolences are with the Paruccini family. It is with 
them that Peter's memory will be kept alive. Peter was a loving father 
to his son, George; husband to his wife, Celeste; and son to his 
parents, Stephanie and Luigi. May God bless their family, and may Peter 
find eternal rest at last. Rest in Peace.
