                       HONORING STEWART COCHRANE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARCY KAPTUR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 1996

  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life of 
Toledo area business and political leader Stewart Cochrane. Stu passed 
away in August, after a valiant struggle against illness.
  A World War II veteran, Stu returned home to Toledo and established 
his own business. He gave his services to many civic and community 
groups, including Inverness and Belmont Country Clubs, Huntington Bank, 
the Toledo Club, the Reynolds Corners Rotary, and the Lincolnshire 
Association. He served as a village councilman for 20 years in Ottawa 
Hills, a suburb of Toledo, eventually serving as the village's police 
commissioner. He completed his public service as the village's mayor 
for 3 years. Throughout his long career of public service, he strove to 
put the needs of the community first, always doing so with an 
enthusiasm, gusto, and sense of humor that filled entire rooms with 
energy.
  Committed to his community, Stu's presence will be missed by us all. 
We extend our sympathy to his wife, Sally; daughter, Paula; son, John; 
and sister, Bette; and his extended family and friends. Stu made a 
difference and made us better by believing in us. Godspeed.
