                        HONORING JUSTIN ADINOLFI

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CHRISTOPHER S. MURPHY

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 20, 2011

  Mr. MURPHY of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to note with 
great sadness the passing of Justin Adinolfi, a leader and inspiration 
in my home town of Cheshire, Connecticut.
  Justin was born and raised in Connecticut and spent most of his life 
there. After receiving his undergraduate degree from Boston College and 
his MBA from William & Mary, Justin helped countless corporations while 
serving as a consultant at Anderson Consulting (later Accenture), DH 
Andrews and Cognizant. He started and ran a business of his own where 
he continued his work.
  Justin was also a pillar of our community of Cheshire. He was a 
member of our town's council as well as our Planning and Zoning 
Commission. He served actively on the boards of several important 
institutions in our community, including the Cheshire Education 
Foundation and MidState Medical Center. He was active in his church as 
well, serving as a Eucharistic Minister at St. Bridget's Church in 
Cheshire.
  To me, Justin was a mentor and friend. When I moved to town in 2005, 
Justin took me under his wing to help me understand who and what was 
important in Cheshire. His public service became an example for me, and 
for many others. His hallmark, to me, was his approachability. He made 
you feel instantly comfortable, and people felt good knowing a 
``regular guy'' was such an important community leader.
  Mr. Speaker, Justin's achievements at work and his community only 
begin to tell his story. The rest of his story will live on through his 
family--his wife Jane and his wonderful children, Justin, Charlotte and 
Thomas. We grieve with them today.
  Justin was taken from us too soon. I was proud to consider him a 
friend and I will miss him.
  On behalf of this entire House, I pass on my sincerest condolences to 
Jane, Justin, Charlotte and Thomas, as well as his siblings, nieces, 
nephews, in-laws, friends and neighbors whose lives he touched so 
deeply. He will be missed by all of us.
