Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to Leo Orsini who has been named 1994 man of the year by the Bayonne chapter of UNICO National. which was chartered in 1949. Leo immigrated to the United States from Italy In 1924 as a young boy. The family originally settled In a small Pennsylvania community and later moved to Bayonne. Leo was a young married man when his father died in an Industrial accident. At that time of personal crisis. he assumed responsibility of his entire family. When he began a successful automobile seatcover and upholstery business. he put his family first by employing his five brothers. Through hard and diligent work. typical of many immigrants. Leo became a successful businessman and an asset to the community. Leo became one of UNICOs first members In 1951.
