  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to today to honor the life of 
Judge Dominick Spadaccino who passed away recently at the age of 91. 
Judge Spadaccino will be remembered as one of the more colorful and 
unique characters to have served Bucks County. He served 23 years as a 
Magisterial District Judge in Middletown, PA before retiring in 1987. 
His service earned him a commendation from President Ronald Reagan.
  Judge Spadaccino served in the U.S. Army Air Force in the China-
Burma-India Theater of World War II along with his six brothers. He 
operated as a medical technician and earned a presidential citation for 
service, armed forces medal and distinguished service award. During his 
time in Bucks County, he was involved with the Uptown String Band in 
Hulmeville and was known for his lively wedding services.
  He was described as a straightforward judge who was not afraid to 
speak his mind. He was known as a fair judge, who was respected for 
both his humorous nature and esteemed service to our community.
