               HONORING RENI IOCOANGELI ON HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN D. DINGELL

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 7, 2001

  Mr. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of Michigan's 
finest and hardest working citizens, Mr. Reni Iocoangeli, on the 
occasion of his retirement.
  Mr. Iocoangeli learned the value of dedication, responsibility and 
hard work early in life. Having lost his father when he was just a 
young man, Mr. Iocoangeli took on several jobs to support his family. 
In April 1951, Mr. Iocoangeli was hired at Ford Motor Company in 
Monroe, Michigan, where he still works today. On July 1, 2001, after 
more than a half century of dedication and service, Mr. Iocoangeli will 
retire from Ford.
  While fifty years at Ford, or with any company, is an accomplishment, 
Mr. Iocoangeli's true dedication and devotion is to his family. Married 
in 1963 to Simica Bosonac, after a 7-year engagement, Mr. Iocoangeli 
has always put family first. Mr. Iocoangeli has passed his values of 
hard-work, commitment to family on to his sons, Ted and Michael, as 
well as his grandchildren, Melinda and Alexander.
  Mr. Speaker, as Mr. Iocoangeli leaves Ford after fifty years of 
service, I would ask that all my colleagues salute him for his 
dedication, hard work and commitment to family.
