                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 23, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to remember Vincent John Skindell. 
Vincent passed away unexpectedly on Friday, May 13, 2011 in a car 
accident.
  Vincent Skindell was born on August 19, 1960 to Vincent M. and Carol 
(nee Kaska) Skindell. Vincent was a 1978 graduate of Brunswick High 
School and an evening manager at Goodyear Tire in Brunswick for 12 
years. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially gardening, fishing, and 
hunting and enjoyed shooting pool also.
  Vincent was preceded in death by his father Vincent and his son 
Joshua Skindell. Vincent is survived by his wife Shawn (nee McGee); his 
daughter Tara Painting; his grandchildren Faith and Noah Painting; his 
mother Carol; his step-children Christie Stiffler and Jennifer Pasquale 
and step-grandchildren Matthew, Nicholas, and Michael Stiffler and 
Allison and Olivia Pasquale.
  Vincent is also survived by his brother Michael, who is a State 
Senator in Ohio, representing Cleveland, Lakewood, Parma, and other 
Cleveland suburbs in the 10th Congressional District. Vincent was 
always supportive and active in Michael's campaigns as a Lakewood City 
Councilman, a State Representative, and State Senator. I would 
frequently see Vincent and his family at campaign events for Michael 
and at my own events.
  Mr. Speaker and respected colleagues, please join me in remembering 
Vincent John Skindell, citizen and friend, and in offering condolences 
to his family who are now grieving his loss.
