          TRIBUTE TO REVEREND CHARLIE DOOLEY OF ST. LOUIS, MO

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSS CARNAHAN

                              of missouri

                  in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 10, 2005

  Mr. CARNAHAN. Mr. Speaker, my remarks today are to pay tribute to the 
life of the Reverend Mr. Charlie Dooley, of St. Louis, MO, husband of 
Lonnie Merl Dooley. Rev. Dooley's life was defined by dedication to his 
work, his church, and his family. Rev. Dooley worked for McDonnell 
Douglas Co. for thirty years without missing a single day of work. His 
devotion to his job was matched by his devotion to his church. He 
served as pastor of the Revelation Missionary Baptist Church from 1966 
until his retirement in 2004.
  Mr. Speaker, the outpouring of support by family, friends, and the 
community made it evident to all what an extraordinary person Rev. 
Dooley was. His wife, children, fourteen grandchildren, and four great-
grandchildren are a great testament to who he was as a person. My 
prayers are with his family, friends, and community today, as we honor 
his life.
