                         Friday, July 30, 2010

  Mr. McCOTTER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor James W. 
Considine, Jr., a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother 
and uncle and to mourn him upon his passing at the age of 72.
  Born on May 3, 1938, James Considine, Jr. spent his life in Michigan 
residing in Detroit and West Bloomfield before making his home in 
Milford. James lived a devoutly faithful life and genuinely loved 
serving the Lord and the Catholic church.
  On July 29, 2010, James Considine, Jr. passed from this earthly world 
to his eternal reward. James will be deeply missed by his wife of 49 
years, Frances ``Claire''. He will long be remembered as a father 
devoted to his beloved daughters, Lisa and Linda and his treasured son 
James III. James leaves a legacy in his 8 grandchildren and his 
sisters, Carrie, Catherine, Jane and Linda. He is survived by several 
nieces, nephews and many dear friends. James was a wonderful man, kind 
to all he encountered. He will be truly and sorrowfully missed.
  Madam Speaker, during his lifetime, James Considine, Jr. enriched the 
lives of everyone around him. There is no doubt that James was a beacon 
of joy, hope and inspiration to those who knew him. As we bid farewell 
to this exceptional man, I ask my colleagues to join me in mourning his 
passing and honoring his life.
