                  CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF PHIL BRANDI

  (Mr. DELUZIO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DELUZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life and 
memory of my constituent, Phil Brandi, who passed away on July 17 at 
the age of 90.
  He lived in Greentree and was born and raised in Sheraden. He was a 
beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend to many. He 
was married to Alice for 66 years. He loved spending time with his 
friends and family, especially his buddies at McDonald's, his Local 27 
retirees, and his friends at the cardiac rehab at Ohio Valley Hospital.
  A veteran, he served his country in the Army and was a proud member 
of Plumbers Local 27 for 65 years. Not only was he a proud union member 
and retiree, his son and grandkids have followed in his footsteps in 
Local 27.
  Phil's life may seem ordinary to many, but I think he represents the 
very best of western Pennsylvania, the values of hard work, patriotism, 
and sacrifice. We honor his life. We honor his legacy, and we hold him 
and his family in our hearts.
