                       Tuesday, January 20, 2026

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Anthony ``Tony'' R. 
Pittman, Sr., who was born on May 8, 1948, in Rocky Mount, North 
Carolina. He was raised in Cranford, New Jersey, where he attended 
school and formed long lasting friendships, including the love of his 
life Brenda Brown. After graduating from high school, he answered the 
call to serve his country enlisting in the United States Air Force, 
where he was stationed in Korea.
  Following his deployment, Anthony R. Pittman, Sr. married Brenda 
Brown and together built a life centered on love and family. Together, 
they welcomed three children while living in Landover, Maryland where 
he worked for NASA. Ultimately, the family relocated and settled in 
Willingboro, New Jersey, where Anthony worked for Lockheed Martin and 
retired after dedicating himself to the company for 36 years.
  Anthony R. Pittman, Sr. will be remembered for his dedication to his 
family, his quiet strength, and his unwavering love for those closest 
to him. His legacy will continue through the generations he so deeply 
cherished.
  Today, Anthony R. Pittman, Sr. is survived by his brothers, Cary 
Pittman, III and Charles Pittman, with whom he shared a life-long bond; 
his three adoring children, Anthony Pittman, Jr. (Tess), Leslie 
Pittman, and Michael Pittman (Meredith); and was a proud and loving 
grandfather to Nicole (Anthony), Ian (Alyssa), Cameron (Jesse), Julian, 
and Patrick; a cherished great-grandfather to Hayes and was predeceased 
by his beloved wife, Brenda Brown; his parents, Cary and Margaret 
Pittman; and his sisters, Gloria Brown and Gwendolyn ``Mickey'' 
Pittman.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring and commending Anthony 
R. Pittman, Sr., a man dedicated to both his family and country and who 
has thoroughly served them both to the best of his ability. I extend 
sincerest condolences for a life well lived.
