                       RAYMOND SIPPLE RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LOU BARLETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 8, 2014

  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Raymond Sipple on his 
retirement from the Bucks Township Board of Supervisors after 30 years 
of dedicated service.
   Mr. Sipple was first elected to the Buck Township Board of 
Supervisors in 1980 and became chairman in January of 2000, a position 
he held until his retirement this past June. He is known as an honest 
man with a deep love for his community. A lifelong resident of our 
area, he worked tirelessly to ensure that the hard earned money of his 
constituents was spent wisely, going so far as to never vote to raise 
taxes. Even though his dear wife Betty, who passed in 2012, is not here 
to mark this milestone with him, I know he is excited to enjoy his 
retirement with his children, Frankie, Joey, Jimmy, Ann Marie, and 
Kathleen, 14 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren.
   Mr. Speaker, for thirty years of exemplary civil service to the 
citizens of Bucks Township, I thank Mr. Sipple and wish him the best in 
his future endeavors.
