             HONORING YORKTOWN POLICE CAPTAIN KENNETH SGROI

  (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize a fallen hero 
from New York's 17th District, Yorktown Police Captain Kenneth Sgroi. 
Captain Sgroi passed away suddenly on January 2 after fighting a brief 
illness.
  He was a model police officer and a humble family man. He graduated 
from the police academy in 2007, serving as a deputy sheriff in 
Dutchess County. He then served as a member of the Yorktown Police 
Department with dignity, honor, and a compelling sense of duty for 
almost 13 years.
  His loss has been a profound one felt by the Yorktown community, his 
fellow officers, and his family.
  The town of Yorktown recently renamed their police department after 
him in honor of his service and sacrifice on behalf of the people of 
Yorktown.
  Captain Sgroi is survived by his wife, Anne, a classmate of mine at 
Manhattan College, and two young children. My prayers are with them as 
they grieve his loss, and my office stands ready to assist them in any 
way we can.
