  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Mr. 
Bertram F. Doyle for his many years of service and countless 
contributions to his community and his country.
  Bertram Doyle was born in Cleveland and raised in Euclid, Ohio. After 
graduating from Shaw High School in East Cleveland, Mr. Doyle enrolled 
at Cleveland College of Western Reserve University, where he earned a 
bachelor's degree in business.
  During World War II, the Marines assigned Mr. Doyle the crucial duty 
of operating the combat telephone. He played an instrumental role in 
two of the most important battles of the war, Bougainville Island and 
Iwo Jima. In 1946, Bertram Doyle was discharged from the Marines, 
having achieved the rank of staff sergeant.
  Bertram Doyle served his community through his involvement with 
Democratic politics and his participation in various charitable 
organizations. Mr. Boyle served as an administrative assistant to both 
the Ohio Department of Transportation district director and the Ohio 
auditor, as well as Democratic ward leader in Seven Hills, Ohio. Mr. 
Doyle also belonged to the Holy Name Society at St. Columbkille 
Catholic Church and American Legion Breckville Post 196 and volunteered 
at the Deaconness Hospital.
  Mr. Doyle leaves behind a wife, three sons and five grandchildren. He 
will be greatly missed.
