                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 24, 1997

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of a 
business owner, a community mentor, and a loving husband, father and 
grandfather, Joe Fox.
  As a young man, Joe fought for his country in World War II as a 
marine, earning a Purple Heart for his bravery. Later, he published a 
community newspaper and was the proprietor of Linka's Restaurant. 
Linka's was regarded as a popular neighborhood gathering place, where 
people would meet not only for the creative family-style meals, but 
also for conversation and advice from Joe Fox.
  Joe Fox loved to cook and experiment with all different kinds of 
cuisine. He also loved to help people in any way he could. Joe was a 
very special and unique man whose generosity and vision earned him a 
place in the hearts of everyone in the community. He is survived by his 
wife, Olga, a daughter, a son, and three grandchildren, all of whom he 
adored. Their loss is shared by everyone fortunate enough to have known 
Joe.
