                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 14, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to remember 
the life of a man that will be missed by many people. Paul Edward Shuey 
passed away on January 17, 2000.
  Paul grew up in Pennsylvania, from grade school to college. He worked 
for West Penn Power Company until he met Ernestine Gigax of Grand 
Junction, Colorado. Paul and Ernestine had two children together. 
Tragically, Ernestine passed away during labor with their third child.
  Paul enlisted into the United States Navy in 1942. He served in the 
Asiatic-Pacific Theater and Philippine Liberation as an Electrican's 
Mate 2nd class. He was honorably discharged in 1945.
  While he lived in Colorado, he was employed by Sweet Candy Company. 
The sweet must have worked as he married Lucy Chiaro in Grand Junction 
in 1953. In 1959, Paul moved his family again to Salt Lake City, Utah, 
to be a sales manager for the Sweet Company. He retired in 1982 and 
lived in San Diego, California until his death.
  Paul was a fourth degree member of the Knights of Columbus Council 
#1062 in Grand Junction. He was very dedicated to his faith and loved 
singing in the choir. Paul liked to play tennis, take care of his 
garden and smoke his pipe.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I offer this tribute in honor of 
Paul Shuey. He was a great man who loved life to the fullest.
