Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to a great man. Ralph Roberts. who passed away last week at 95. Mr. Roberts is a true example of the American Dream. He was born to a family of Russian immigrants. and grew up watching his father manage a chain of drugstores in New York City. He inherited his fathers work ethic. and following his service in the Navy. he bought a small cable company in 1963 and founded Comcast. Today. Comcast is headquartered in Philadelphia. and many of my constituents are proud Comcast employees. Its the largest Internet. cable. and telephone service provider to residential homes in our country. and has led the way in the telecommunications industry.
