  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in commemoration of the life 
of Mr. Leonard R. Sendelsky. Mr. Sendelsky, a longtime resident of the 
Colonia section of Woodbridge, New Jersey, passed away on December 6, 
2014 after a life filled with numerous professional and personal 
accomplishments.
  Mr. Sendelsky was a fixture of the building industry. His commitment 
to high quality and standards set him apart as a leader and advocate in 
the industry. He earned several honors and accolades, including the New 
Jersey Builders Golden Hammer Award and the New Jersey Builders 
Association inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award.
  Not only was Mr. Sendelsky a prominent representative of the building 
industry, he was also an active member of the community and the 
Hungarian Reformed Church of Carteret. His work with the Thomas Edison 
Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the Raritan Bay YMCA and the 
Middlesex County College Foundation exemplify his commitment to service 
and support of the community.
  Born and raised in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, Mr. Sendelsky lived in 
Colonia for over 50 years with his wife Judy. He and Judy were married 
for 60 years and together had two sons, Leonard Drew and Guy Sean. Mr. 
Sendelsky is remembered by his loving family,

including his wife and sons, daughter-in-law Susan, granddaughter 
Christine Marie, sisters Joan Maher and Jean Muni, as well as many 
other relatives and friends.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
honoring Leonard Sendelsky for his dedication to his family and 
community and his immeasurable contributions to the building industry.
