                        Thursday, April 4, 2019

  Mrs. TRAHAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Antonio 
``Tony'' Frias of Hudson, Massachusetts who is turning 80 years old on 
Saturday, April 6, 2019. Tony dedicated his life to his community and 
business, as the co-founder of S&F Concrete Contractors, Inc. Tony has 
lived his life admirably, and his legacy of hard work and public 
service continues to inspire many in our community.
  Tony Frias was born in Santa Maria Island, Azores and left school 
after the 4th grade to immigrate to the United States in 1955 with the 
earnest pursuit to create a better future. Before becoming involved in 
construction, Tony challenged himself in various positions, building 
skills, determination, and exploring interests to cultivate. After 
seven years of working in the concrete construction industry, Tony and 
his brother Joseph joined forces with Jack Santos to establish S&F 
Concrete Contractors, Inc. Today, he continues his work with over 50 
years of construction experience at the forefront of the company.
  Tony's lifetime commitment to our community and his work at S&F 
Concrete Contractors has been invaluable to Massachusetts. I am proud 
to rise in honor of Tony's 80th birthday and look forward to his 
continuing to inspire others in our community.
  Madam Speaker, it is with great honor that I recognize Mr. Antonio 
Frias today.
