                  REMEMBERING RAYMOND P. MONGILLO, SR.

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, Raymond P. Mongillo, Sr., was a 
Middletown Township, Bucks County businessman. He was a public servant 
and a United States Army veteran of the Korean war. He passed away on 
July 8, 4 days after his 82nd birthday. He had dedicated and devoted 
many years in service to his community, to veterans organizations, and 
to his church.
  Ray was a leader in the effort to preserve Middletown Township's 
quality of life and served for 24 years on the Middletown Board of 
Supervisors. He was very instrumental in saving Styer's farm and 
orchard from future development. Aiming for the best outlook, he said:

       The main thing is preserving it. We'd like to keep it going 
     in its present form, as a farm store with pumpkins and 
     hayrides.

  And so it is, and it stands as a monument to Ray's hard work.
  He leaves behind his wife of 61 years, Margaret, five children, 
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many friends--
and he has left a space that will be very hard to fill.
