                       Tuesday, September 9, 2014

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and remember 
the life of Herb Stottler, 79, who passed away on August 30, 2014, 
surrounded by those he loved dearly.
   The citizens of Northeast Ohio are hardworking, honest Americans, 
and Herb was no exception. Herb was a dedicated labor leader, as well 
as a strong advocate for the Democratic Party. Herb served his nation 
proudly in the United States Marine Corps, where he was honorably 
discharged. Herb also faithfully devoted himself to his community, 
where he served as Ward 7 Council for the City of Akron, before 
becoming the International Staff Representative for the United Steel 
Workers of America.
   Herb was preceded in death by his mother, Mona; brother, Bob; dear 
daughter, Debra Leigh; and nephew by marriage, Dave Fritz. He leaves 
behind his loving wife of 30 years, Jan; daughters, Pam and Tonia; 
granddaughters, Misty, Rachel (Matt), and Chelcie; great-grandsons, 
Dylan and Sam; brother, John (Suzie); nephews, Brian (Jan) and Bob 
(Kathy); nieces, Christine (David), Kim (Terry), and Jackie; and many 
great-nieces and nephews.
   I am deeply saddened and extend my condolences to his entire family. 
Herb was a strong and dedicated man, who will be missed by those whose 
lives he impacted, because of his dedication and unwavering service, 
Northeast Ohio is a better place.
