                  PAYING TRIBUTE TO STANLEY GOLDSTEIN

  (Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAGAZINER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Stanley 
Goldstein, who passed away last month.
  Born and raised in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, Stanley came from humble 
beginnings before graduating from the University of Pennsylvania 
Wharton School of Business and serving in the United States Army.
  Upon his return home in 1963, Stan and his brother Sid opened the 
first CVS store in Lowell, Massachusetts. He believed that success 
would stem from prioritizing customer satisfaction over easy profits. 
He was right.
  By the time Stan retired as CEO of CVS in 2006, the company had 
become the largest drug store chain in the U.S., with over 4,000 
stores. Today, CVS has over 9,000 stores and employs more than 300,000 
people.
  Stanley never forgot his roots. CVS is still headquartered in his 
hometown of Woonsocket, and he remained in Rhode Island his entire 
life, raising his family there.
  In his retirement, he was sometimes seen digging for clams or 
listening to Red Sox games on the radio.
  Stanley Goldstein leaves behind a legacy of hard work and dedication 
that has created jobs for thousands and improved the health outcomes 
for millions.
  He will be deeply missed, but his legacy endures.
