                  TRIBUTE TO ENRIQUE ``TITO'' OSBORNE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 15, 2012

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute and to honor 
Enrique Osborne.
  Enrique, known affectionately as ``Tito,'' migrated to Brooklyn, New 
York from Panama at the age of 13 in 1950. After Enrique graduated from 
High School he joined the United States Air Force and after his service 
he worked as a supervisor for the Advertising Distributors of America. 
He later worked for the New York City Transit Authority until his 
retirement.
  In 1975, Tito was made a master mason in the Jessie Milton Lodge #70, 
King Solomon affiliation. Twelve years later, he joined African Lodge 
459 #63, where he has served continuously and is currently a trustee.
  A father of six, Gloria Louisa, Carlos, Antonio, Joseph, April and 
Gloria, and grandfather of ten, Tito still finds the time to be the 
President of the Bug Pack, a Philadelphia Volkswagen Club, and a member 
of the Ebony Rod and Gun Club.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Mr. Enrique ``Tito'' Osborne 
for his contribution to our community of Brooklyn.
