                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 12, 2008

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Antonio 
Dimora, a beloved father and doting grandfather, and to honor his 
commitment to his Northeast Ohio community.
  Antonio was born in Sicily in 1932 and immigrated to the United 
States in 1950, settling in a succession of Cleveland area communities. 
He was an avid outdoorsman, worked for Republic Steel and Buckeye 
Forge, and served as the Union Steward in the United Steelworkers of 
America. Later in life, Antonio devoted his time to volunteer work with 
the American Association of Retired Persons and Church of the Holy 
Angels in Bainbridge, Ohio.
  Antonio's greatest joy in life was spending time with his wife, Mary 
Elizabeth; his four children, James, Ann Marie Miker, Theresa Agostino, 
and Diane Pieronek; and his nine grandchildren. He never forgot Italy, 
and enjoyed every opportunity to celebrate his Italian heritage.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in remembering Antonio 
Dimora, whose tireless work for the labor cause and deep affection for 
his family and community will be remembered by all who knew him. My 
thoughts and prayers go out to the Dimora family during this difficult 
time.

                          ____________________
