                    IN HONOR OF CHARLIE J. FABYANSKI

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 25, 2005

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Charlie J. Fabyanski 
for his dedicated service to the community throughout the years. Mr. 
Fabyanski was honored at a dinner dance for the Richard A. Rutkowski 
Association's 26th anniversary gala on January 15, 2005, in Bayonne, 
New Jersey.
  Mr. Fabyanski has served the Bayonne community in a variety of 
capacities. For more than ten years, he has worked as the institutional 
representative of St. Andrew's Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Sea Scouts. 
He has also graciously volunteered his time at the Special Olympics of 
Hudson County, the Windmill Center, the Highways programs, and as an 
usher at church.
  A leader in many organizations, Mr. Fabyanski has been a trustee of 
Hudson Milestone, president of the Hudson Ability Bowling League, 
treasurer of the Bayonne Friends of the Handicapped, secretary of St. 
Andrew's Holy Name Society, and past president of his parish's seniors' 
group.
  Mr. Fabyanski's honorable service has extended well beyond the 
Bayonne community. A veteran of World War II, he bravely served his 
country as an army sergeant and fought in the infamous battles of 
Normandy and St. Lo.
  As a licensed state engineer, he worked for 25 years as a supervisor 
of air conditioning and refrigeration at the former Military Ocean 
Terminal. Mr. Fabyanski graduated from the Lincoln Technical Institute 
and is the proud parent of two sons and two grandchildren.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Charlie J. 
Fabyanski for his years of devoted volunteerism and leadership. His 
deep commitment to serving others is well respected and his work has 
positively impacted the lives of those in his community.
