                        Tuesday, October 9, 2001

  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, today, I am deeply saddened to share the 
news of the passing of former Congressman David S. Dennison.
  David Dennison was born on July 29, 1918, to David Sr. and Cordella 
Ford Whitman Dennison. Besides his wife, Dorothy K. Houlette Dennison, 
a son, David W.; two stepsons, Joseph Houlette and Thomas Houlette; and 
six grandchildren survive him.
  David was a special counsel to the city of Warren, and also served as 
a special assistant in Trumbull County to the Ohio Attorney General. He 
was also a U. S. Congressman to the 11th District of Ohio from 1957-
1959. Not only was he a contributing member of the Youngstown 
community, but also a loyal servant to his country. A veteran of World 
War II, he served in the British Eighth Army in Africa and fought for 
our Nation's freedom.
  David was also a member of St. John Episcopal Church in Youngstown, 
OH, and was also a member of the Carmel Foundation in Carmel, CA, the 
York School, the Monterey College of Law, and Monterey Visiting Nurse 
Association and the Hospice before his retirement in 2000.
  The lives of many were enriched by Mr. Dennison's life. He always 
took the time to make people feel extra special with a kind word or a 
warm smile. lie was a wonderful friend and all who knew him looked up 
to him. The Youngstown community will sorely miss David S. Dennison. I 
extend my deepest sympathy to his family.
