  Ms. SLAUGHTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of a 
veteran and member of the Rochester community, Steven Lucyshyn.
  Rochester is a vibrant city with a rich history including the members 
of its community who ranged from activists to philanthropists to 
technological pioneers, and the businesses that were the front-runners 
of their time in their respective fields. The contributions made by 
Rochesterians inspire their fellow community members on a daily basis. 
Steven is no exception. Born in 1919, Steven was a hardworking man who 
carried on the spirit of Rochester in his day-to-day life as a husband, 
father, and friend.
  But he went well beyond that. In the midst of World War II, Steven 
answered the call to serve his country and joined the Armed Forces. On 
June 12, 1941, Steven enlisted as a Private and proudly served in the 
Warrant Officers branch of the U.S. Army. Steven displayed this immense 
bravery while fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. Serving one's 
country requires an immense amount of courage and valor that few of us 
are capable of displaying. It is without hesitation that we honor the 
life of Steven, his love for his family and the contributions that he 
made to this country and the Rochester community.
  Steven was predeceased by his beloved wife of 66 years, Amelia, who 
together, raised two children, Michael Lucyshyn and Janice Schillaci; 
had two grandsons, Samuel J. (Becky) Lucyshyn and Michael J. Schillaci; 
and four great-grandchildren, Zoe, Dominic, Mia, and Jessica. As his 
family and friends mourn his passing, let this record celebrate his 
life and service to our country.
