  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of John 
D. Wagner, an outstanding member of the Northeast Ohio community who 
passed away on April 28th at the age of 69.
   A lifelong resident of Barberton, Ohio, Mr. Wagner spent his life 
dedicated to service. One who not only provided for his family as a 
business manager of the local Number 219 Plumbers and Pipefitters 
Union, but also as one who provided for the members of his community. 
He served on multiple boards and councils, such as the Barberton City 
Council and the executive board of the Ohio AFL-CIO, just to name a 
few. John was also known for coaching the Barberton American Little 
League for many years.

   He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and the hard-
working folks he helped to represent. Mr. Wagner's passion and 
leadership for his community serves as a hallmark not only for the city 
of Barberton, but for all of us who are making differences for the 
people we represent.
