                       Wednesday, October 8, 2003

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to today in honor and remembrance 
of Mervyn Jones--devoted family man, respected businessman, and a 
friend to many in the community.
  Mr. Jones and Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones were married in 
1976 at Bethany Baptist Church. They have a son, Mervyn Jones II, who 
is now attending college at Hiram College. Mr. Jones worked renovating 
and rehabilitating homes in the community and had sold rental 
properties.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honor and remembrance of Mervyn 
Jones--a loving man, a dedicated and adoring husband to his wife, a 
wonderful and warm father to his son, and a generous and caring man to 
his family and friends.
  I extend my deepest condolences to Mr. Jones's beloved wife, 
Stephanie, and his child, Mervyn Jones II, and his brother, sisters, 
nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Mervyn Jones will forever be 
missed.
