                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 23, 2005

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Howard W. Broadbent, dedicated family man, friend and mentor to many, 
talented attorney and United States veteran.
  Mr. Broadbent was born in Cleveland and graduated from Cleveland 
Heights High School. His studies at Ohio State University were 
interrupted for the call to duty during WWII, where he served as a 
Lieutenant and Amphibious Boat Officer in the United States Navy. After 
the war, he completed his studies at OSU, and ultimately earned a law 
degree with honors from Case Western Reserve University Law School.
  Mr. Broadbent began working at the law firm of James M. and John J. 
Carney, and specialized in zoning and real estate. He eventually formed 
the Carney & Broadbent Law Firm, specializing again in real estate and 
corporate matters. As an expert regarding zoning issues, Mr. Broadbent 
was consistently sought out for his advice and opinion by mayors, 
council representatives and planning and zoning board members from 
across the county. He also served as law director for Middleburg 
Heights, and served as substitute judge for the Rocky River Municipal 
Court. Additionally, Mr. Broadbent served on the Board of the Cuyahoga 
County Port Authority.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Howard W. Broadbent. He was married for fifty-five years to his 
beloved wife, Dorothy, who passed away in 2003. His friendship, 
commitment to his family, and his dedicated service to our country will 
be remembered always. I offer my condolences to his daughters, Diane 
and Kitty, and son Jack; his grandson, Douglas; his brother, John, and 
his many extended family members and friends.
