  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life and 
memory of a great Western New Yorker, Mr. Daniel J. Masiello, a 
remarkable man dedicated to public service, his family and his nation.
  Born on the West Side of Buffalo in 1913, as a young man Mr. Masiello 
enlisted in the United States Army and went on to defend this Country's 
freedom overseas for five years during WorId War II.
  A hard-working man, Mr. Masiello was a member of Teamsters Local 375 
as an employee of Dorn's Transportation and went on to work in the City 
of Buffalo Streets Department for 27 years, eventually serving as the 
department's Supervisor.
  Mr. Masiello was a devoted family man, married to Bridget DeGeorge 
for 59 years, they enjoyed spending time with their seven children, 
fourteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
  For 91 years the Buffalo and Western New York community was fortunate 
to have Daniel J. Masiello as a trusted friend and I am pleased to 
honor his memory today.
