HON. DAVID YOUNG of Iowa in the House of Representatives
Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate Johnny's Body Shop of Essex, Iowa, for celebrating their 50th year in business. Johnny's Body Shop was founded by the late Johnny and Eileen Resh in 1966.

Johnny's Body Shop is currently owned by Hazel and Delaine Resh. They represent the third generation of Resh family ownership. Delaine spends most of his day doing the required insurance and written estimates for customers, and notes how dramatically the auto industry has changed over the years. Delaine and Hazel often state their gratefulness to the residents of Essex for supporting their family-run business for over a half century.

Mr. Speaker, I commend Hazel and Delaine Resh for their years of dedicated and devoted service to Essex and the surrounding area. The staff at Johnny's Body Shop make a difference by helping and serving others every day. It is with great honor that I recognize them today and I am proud to represent them in the United States Congress. I ask that my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating them on this outstanding milestone and in wishing them and their entire family nothing but continued success.
