                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 2023

  Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life and 
accomplishments of James Papariello, who sadly passed away on June 12, 
2023, at the age of 84.
  In 1969, the Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, native built his own 
business, Jim Papariello Studios, that served the Greater Pittsburgh 
community for over 50 years. Throughout his career in commercial 
industrial photography, James captured many of Pittsburgh's important 
figures and organizations, including Mario Lemieux, Dr. Earl Starzl, 
U.S. Steel and Heinz corporations. Pittsburgher Magazine featured 
several of his works on their cover in recognition of their quality and 
significance to southwestern Pennsylvania. These covers and photographs 
are currently on display in the Heinz History Center for all to enjoy.
  Apart from his life's work, James also devoted himself to his family. 
He leaves behind his wife of 63 years, Linda, and his beloved children 
and grandchildren. His family will fondly remember James as a man whose 
greatest happiness came from spending time together.
  Mr. Speaker, James Papariello's love of his community and dedication 
to his family is an example to us all. On behalf of Pennsylvania's 14th 
Congressional District, I wish his family comfort and healing during 
this difficult time.
