Madam President, former Senator and Vice President Joe Biden was blessed with many wonderful staff members over the years, and one of them was John DiEleuterio. I would like to take just 3 minutes to mention him. He just passed away. He was a giant in the State of Delaware and also served in the military. Remembering John M. DiEleuterio Madam President, I rise today on behalf of Delaware's congressional delegation, Senator Chris Coons and Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, in tribute to John M. DiEleuterio, a dedicated public servant who proudly served our State and country throughout his long career and life. John was what I call a happy warrior--in the military for many years and in his service to the people of Delaware. He supported a multitude of nonprofits that focused on helping people in need. He was a person who loved people, and they loved him just as much. John exemplified what it means to be the ``go-to person'' to get things done. His relationships and friendships with people throughout our State enabled him to get things done with speed and dispatch and, I would add, with a sense of joy. John's persistence and innate ability to work a room and make connections, his strong work ethic and ever-present sense of humor was the core of what made John so successful.…”
