                        Wednesday, June 24, 2020

  Ms. ESHOO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and work of 
a distinguished resident of the 18th Congressional District, Joseph A. 
Zanardi.
  Joseph was born on April 16, 1943, and died on May 31, 2020. He was 
born and raised in Los Gatos, California, and was a proud graduate of 
Los Gatos High School where he was an outstanding baseball player. 
After high school he joined the family business founded by his 
grandfather near the turn of the 20th century. A lifetime of hard work 
followed, although he was always able to find time to coach local youth 
baseball teams. Joseph retired from Green Valley Disposal in 1999.
  Joseph adored his grandchildren and his dog, and he had a multitude 
of hobbies including hunting, cars, and taking care of his roses. He 
was a member of the Los Gatos Lions Club for more than 50 years, and he 
helped launch the Los Gatos Athletic Association which has raised 
millions of dollars for Los Gatos High School sports.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the entire House of Representatives to join me 
in honoring the life of Joseph A. Zanardi and in extending our 
condolences to his wife Elizabeth, his sons and their wives, his 
grandchildren, and his entire family. He will be greatly missed by all 
who knew him and he will be remembered fondly by his entire community.
