  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Kevin 
Shanley of Gladstone, New Jersey. Kevin was a fine leader of the Newark 
Museum whose contributions will long be remembered. Kevin was also a 
successful businessman, a generous and caring philanthropist and a 
wonderful father and grandfather.
  Kevin served as the Chairman of the Newark Museum for over 25 years. 
Under his leadership the museum underwent its largest expansion to date 
with the completion of its North Wing. His work at the museum expanded 
its mission and brought in objects and ideas that educated and 
inspired.
  Kevin was a generous and caring philanthropist. He served as 
President and Treasurer of the Victoria Foundation, which assists young 
children and their families in the Newark community. Kevin also served 
on the Board of Trustees of New Jersey Futures, as a regent of St. 
Peter's University in Jersey City and on the boards of many other 
organizations. He was also a successful businessman working with a 
number of major companies. There he mentored many of his colleagues who 
appreciated his sound perspective and high degree of integrity.
  Kevin's long devotion to his civic and personal responsibilities will 
forever be his legacy.
