  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Joseph J. Golubski--beloved family man, community leader, and friend 
and mentor to many.
  Mr. Golubski graduated from South High School in 1946 He earned a 
Bachelor's degree from John Carroll University, and a law degree from 
John Marshall College. In 1950, he married Rita D. Krysinski. Together 
they raised seven children. In 1952 Mr. Golubski became a licensed 
funeral director, continuing the family business that his father 
established in 1913. With a keen intellect and high energy for 
learning, Mr. Golubski became a licensed attorney in 1953.
  Despite his exceptional scholastic and business achievements, Mr. 
Golubski's foremost priorities were his family and native community--
the Slavic Village neighborhood. His family, community, faith and 
heritage were central within his life. Mr. Golubski was very active in 
and supportive of the community along Fleet Avenue. He supported many 
projects at several area churches, including St. Stanislaus, Immaculate 
Heart of Mary Church, St. Hyacinth Church, Sacred Heart of Jesus 
Church, and the former Transfiguration Church. Additionally, Mr. 
Golubski was an active member of the St. Stan's Dad's Club, Knights of 
Columbus South East Council, Cleveland Society of Poles, Slavic Village 
Merchant's Guild, and the National Funeral Director's Association, 
among many others.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Joseph J. Golubski, beloved husband of Rita; beloved father of 
Linda, Joseph E., Robert, Nancy, Steven, Cheryl, and Pamela; and 
adoring grandfather of Stephanie, Denise, Rita, Anne, Matthew, Adam, 
Martha and Joseph. Mr. Golubski's joyous life was defined by his deep 
dedication to family and friends, and his exceptional service to his 
community. His strong spirit, integrity, energy and good works have 
served to uplift the lives of countless individuals, families--and the 
entire Cleveland community.
