                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 14, 2023

  Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to posthumously honor Mr. Robb 
Lally, a dedicated public servant and volunteer for more than 35 years.
  Robert (Robb) Lally entered the seminary at a young age and as a 
deacon, served in a Catholic Parish. After finishing seminary school, 
Mr. Lally continued to help and aid those in need through his work with 
the Franciscans at Arch Street, and later for the Salvation Army.
  In 1988, Robb Lally headed to San Diego to work with the founder of 
the Alpha Project, a non-profit human services organization that serves 
over 4,000 men, women and children daily. As director, he empowered 
individuals, families and communities by providing work, recovery and 
support services to those who were motivated to change their lives and 
achieve self-sufficiency. During his tenure, Robb was instrumental in 
the overall mission and growth of the organization and had assisted 
with over 1,000 apartment units that were preserved and created.
  On June 7, 2023, Robb's life and legacy were honored at a Celebration 
of Life in San Diego, CA. On behalf of the residents of California's 
52nd Congressional District, I would like to express my deepest 
condolences to the family of Robb Lally. His legacy is felt, and his 
presence will be greatly missed.
