                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 19, 2016

  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Mr. 
Stephen P. Curto. This past Sunday, City of Easton Mayor Salvatore J. 
Panto, Jr. declared April 17 to be Stephen P. Curto Day to give tribute 
to a man who brightened his community through a lifetime of service.
  Stephen Curto dedicated himself to the city of his birth. A 
noteworthy chapter in his life was filled by nearly fifty years of 
volunteering for the Easton Area Community center, which, for over 
sixty years, served the West Ward, one of the most diverse and 
impoverished neighborhoods in the City. He was instrumental in 
establishing the Center's annual testimonial roast fundraiser and 
diligently worked to ensure its continued success.
  Stephen Curto was also a dedicated family man and was involved for 
years in Democratic politics and labor causes. In 1990, he retired from 
his position as a business agent for the United Food and Commercial 
Workers Union

and gave himself even more fully to his family and his causes.
  I applaud the City of Easton for bestowing such a worthy tribute to a 
uniquely resolute and enduring figure of community service.
