          IN HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE OF GREGORY ANTHONY D'ANGELO

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                        Wednesday, May 11, 2005

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Gregory Anthony D'Angelo, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-
grandfather, brother, WW II Veteran, and dear friend and mentor to 
many. Mr. D'Angelo's life was framed by kindness, tenacity, integrity 
and heart, and although he will be

greatly missed, he deeply touched the lives of everyone he knew.
  Mr. D'Angelo was a true renaissance man, whose mastery of the 
carpentry trades, artistry in the boxing ring, and expertise in the 
field of aeronautical mechanics belied his kind and compassion heart. 
His main focus was always his family. Together, Mr. D'Angelo and his 
beloved wife of 54 years, ``Millie,'' raised their five children.
  A devoted husband and father, Mr. D'Angelo worked diligently to 
provide for them. Whether driving a truck, climbing into the boxing 
ring, or creating the Prehistoric World Diorama at Disneyland, Mr. 
D'Angelo did so with commitment, heart and grace. Though unimpressed by 
awards and accolades, his work at Disneyland captured the attention, 
honor and respect of Mr. Walt Disney himself. In addition to Mr. 
Disney, Mr. D'Angelo captured the honor, respect and love of those who 
loved and knew him best--his family and friends.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Gregory Anthony D'Angelo. I offer my deepest condolences to his wife 
and companion of 54 years, Millie; his children, Joseph, Kathleen, 
Annie, John and Susan; his daughters-in-law, Robyn and Susan; his sons-
in-law, Charles, Willie and Curt; his 12 grandchildren and 4 
greatgrandchildren; his sister, Stella; and to his extended family and 
many friends. Mr. D'Angelo left this world with a legacy that shines 
love and light upon his family, friends and community. His joy of life, 
caring heart and concern for others defined his life and will live on 
in the hearts of all who knew and loved well, today, and for all time.
