                    THE PASSING OF JAMES P. McINTYRE

                                  _____
                                 

                         HON. JAMES R. LANGEVIN

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 5, 2015

  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember a 
lifelong Rhode Islander who dedicated his life to his country and to 
his family. James McIntyre leaves behind eight children, 13 
grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and I have no doubt that his 
absence will be felt by them every day.
  James served this nation in the Korean War, and after leaving the 
U.S. Army, he went on to become a longtime surveyor for the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers. He never hesitated to lend a hand to family or 
friends. He was always eager to tackle a project, earning him a 
reputation as the resident handyman, and the first one to call when 
something needed fixing. His generosity of spirit was extended to his 
friends at the Knights of Columbus, and to all who asked.
  I have had the honor of working with James's daughter, Nancy Beattie, 
for more than 20 years. Nancy is my director of constituent services 
and one of the kindest, most generous and genuine people that I have 
ever met. She works tirelessly on behalf of my constituents, and is a 
living representation of the values that James instilled in his family. 
My deepest condolences go out to Nancy and to James's loving wife of 61 
years, Margaret McIntyre, and I know my colleagues will join me in 
extending our sympathy to the entire McIntyre family.
