                      Wednesday, December 3, 2014

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of 
Palmer J. ``Barney'' Macali, 93, who passed away Thursday, Nov. 20, 
2014, surrounded by his loving family.
  Barney devoted his life to his family and was an active member of his 
community. Barney served his country in the U.S. Air Force as part of 
the 5th Air Depot Group. He was a member of numerous organizations, and 
received multiple awards. Barney received the Community Star from the 
Tribune Chronicle for outstanding service in the community, due to his 
integral part in coordinating numerous fundraisers and other charitable 
events. From the young age of 10, Barney began delivering groceries 
after school, and for 80 years, he committed himself to the business, 
his customers, and employees. Barney was a dedicated family man and a 
valued citizen of Northeast Ohio.
  Preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Armand and Gilbert 
Macali. Barney is survived by his wife, Anne Macali, whom he married 
Feb. 14, 1955; four children, Ralph, Paula, Palmer, Mary Beth; their 
AFS student, of Frankfurt, Germany, Hannelore; eight grandchildren, 
Christopher, Quinn, Tyler, Marco, Nina and Nicholas, Spencer and 
Anneliese; two sisters, Eleanor and Norma, and sister-in-law, Delores. 
There is no doubt, Barney left his community a much better place to 
live in and he will be missed.
