E2322 | Congressional Record, Volume 144 Issue 152 (Thursday, November 12, 1998) [Congressional Record Volume 144, Number 152 (Thursday, November 12, 1998)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E2322] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] HONORING JUDGE PHILIP PASTORE ON HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY ______ HON. ROSA L. DeLAURO of connecticut in the house of representatives Thursday, November 12, 1998 Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to call to your attention the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Honorable Philip Pastore, a life-long New Haven resident who has served both the city of New Haven and the State of Connecticut with distinction throughout his law career. Judge Pastore has dedicated his life to making our justice system work. In both his personal and professional life, he has earned a reputation for his fairness, integrity, and commitment to upholding and respecting the law. These qualities are demonstrated in the many judicial cases he has tried, presided over, and rendered judgments on for more than half a century. Judge Pastore retired only 3 years ago, leaving a legacy which included positions as a Democratic state representative and Superior Court judge. It is fascinating to listen to Judge Pastore's stories of the century of history he witnessed, along with the remarkable changes and tremendous progress to the judicial system. Although he no longer practices professionally, he continues to keep up-to-date on current case law, and his wife still reads the Connecticut Law Journal to him. Many seek his advice, knowing his counsel is offered with wisdom, justice, and compassion. Plaques cover the walls of his home to honor the services he has donated to the community. Indeed, his long career has left an indelible mark on the residents of Connecticut, and especially his close friends from the Wooster Street neighborhood. It is difficult to find someone whose commitment to excellence equals his own. I join with his wife, Margaret, his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to honor Philip Pastore on his 100th birthday. Best wishes for continued fulfillment and happiness. Happy Birthday! ____________________ |
