  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Mr. Frank 
Castelli's retirement as the Service Director for the City of 
Middleburg Heights after 25 years of dedicated service.
  Mr. Frank Castelli was born in Jefferson, Ohio and graduated from 
Geneva High School. He later continued his education by attending 
Cleveland State University. Mr. Castelli and his wife, Delia, have been 
married for 45 years and have one daughter, Claudia, and two sons, Marc 
and Matt. Frank also has two grandchildren, Marcella and Pete.
  Mr. Castelli is a veteran of the United States Army and served in 
Germany during 1955 and 1956. Following his service in the Army, Mr. 
Castelli worked in the insurance industry for nearly 30 years as a 
claim adjuster and commercial insurance agent. He also spent 16 years 
as the co-owner and operator of Trans Ohio Insurance Agency with his 
brother, Ron. In 1986, Frank became the Service Director for the City 
of Middleburg Heights, Ohio.
  In addition to his careers serving his country, fellow Ohioans and 
residents of Middleburg Heights, Mr. Castelli has been a leader in the 
community. Since 1976 he has served as the president of the Misty Lake 
Condominium Association and at one time served as a member of the 
Planning Commission. From 1976 to 1986 Frank was a councilman for 
Middleburg Heights, Ward 1. He has also been serving as the president 
of the Middleburg Heights Democratic Club since 1998 and is an active 
member of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party Executive Committee.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Mr. Frank 
Castelli as he celebrates his retirement.
