                       Wednesday, October 7, 2015

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Barry Cicero of 
Western Springs who passed away on October 2, 2015. Barry was known for 
his remarkable dedication to his family, church, community, and fellow 
veterans.
   Mr. Cicero was a veteran of the United States Army and served as a 
nuclear weapons storage specialist in Alaska during the Vietnam War 
era. He was a graduate and active alum of both St. Mel's High School 
and DePaul University. For many years he worked as Director of Auditing 
at UFCW Union and Pension Funds.
   Barry honorably served the American Legion in Illinois for many 
years. He held multiple leadership roles including Post Commander at 
the Robert E. Coulter, Jr. Post, Fifth District Commander, and First 
Division Commander. Mr. Cicero continued to work as a community 
relations contact with American Legion even after his term as commander 
ended. He was consistently engaged in programs to help his fellow 
veterans and everyone in the community.
   Mr. Cicero will best be remembered for his compassion, integrity, 
and warm spirit. He was active at St. John of the Cross Catholic Church 
and was a loving family man. Those of us who knew him will miss his 
thoughtfulness and enthusiastic kindness.
   Today I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Barry Cicero, a 
truly admirable man. His leadership and dedication to his community 
were extraordinary and will not be forgotten.
