                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 24, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and memory of Mr. 
John Kiley, the co-director of the Freedom House, which was the 
precursor to Cleveland's Ed Keating Center.
  John was dedicated to serving the country and the public starting at 
a young age. He served with the U.S. Air Force for twenty years, 
including three tours in Vietnam, before retiring. He was a member of 
the 1041st Security Police Squadron at Hawaii's Schofield Barracks. 
Later, John worked as a counselor at Cleveland's Stella Marris and the 
Ed Keating Center. He was also the co-director of Cleveland's Freedom 
House.
  The Ed Keating Center was founded in 1998 by Jack Mulhall and Phyllis 
Eisele-Curran, who had previously founded Freedom House in 1991. It is 
a non-profit organization and sober living facility for those addicted 
to drugs and alcohol that serves adults regardless of their financial 
well-being. The Ed Keating Center offers a six month in-house rehab 
program, a three-quarter house program and a work release program for 
its patients.
  I offer my condolences to John's wife Susan; daughters Kerry, Shannon 
(deceased), Angela and Merry; siblings, Susan and Terry; and all of his 
nieces and nephews.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring the memory of 
Mr. John Kiley. His legacy will live on through the work of Cleveland's 
Ed Keating Center.
