                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 4, 2011

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the extraordinary 
life of Paul Scupholm and mourn him upon his passing at the age of 76.
  Born on January 8, 1935, Paul Scupholm attended Detroit Cooley High 
School and graduated in 1953. Paul served as a Congressional Aide to 
Representative Jack McDonald from 1967 through 1973, was Executive 
Director of Friends of Detroit Public Library and a board member of the 
Redford Library. He was the founder of the Redford Soccer Club. Paul 
Scupholm spent many hours making wooden toys to be donated to several 
children's hospitals.
  Regrettably, on April 30, 2011, Paul Scupholm passed from this 
earthly world to his eternal reward. He is survived by his beloved 
wife, Lois, and his children, Brad, Jeff, Greg and Jennifer. A devoted 
brother to sister Rosemary, Paul leaves a legacy in his grandchildren 
Lindsey, Stephanie, Vicki, Barbara, Beth, Mackenzie, Lexi, Trevor, 
Tessa, Brady, Olivia, Kaden and Ava. A courageous and honorable man, 
Paul will be sorely missed.
  Mr. Speaker, Paul Scupholm is remembered as a dedicated husband, a 
compassionate father, devoted brother, concerned leader and a friend. 
Paul was a man who deeply treasured his family, friends, community and 
his country. Today, as we bid Paul farewell, I ask my colleagues to 
join me in mourning his passing and honoring his unwavering patriotism 
and service to our country and community.
