                        Friday, October 4, 2019

  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Walter E. 
Good of Boardman, Ohio, who passed away on Thursday, September 26, 
2019, at the age of 80.
  Walter will always be remembered as a caring, loyal and faithful man 
that stood by the principles of duty, honor and country. He was born 
October 9, 1938, in Youngstown, the son of Walter P. and Marguerite 
(Clark) Good and was a lifelong area resident.
  Walter was proud to have grown up on the east side, where he 
graduated from East High School. He then continued his education at 
Youngstown State University, where he earned his two bachelor's degrees 
in Mathematics and Engineering, and his master's degree in Business 
Administration. With his love for education, Walter taught part-time at 
Youngstown State University.
  He was a proud United States Army veteran, who served during the 
Vietnam Era. For his service to our country, Walter received the Good 
Conduct Medal, the Marksman Badge and received an Honorable Discharge 
on June 6, 1963. Walter celebrated his career as an industrial engineer 
in the steel industry, ultimately retiring from the United States 
Postal Service.
  He was a member of the Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, its 
Vestibule Club, and was a lector for Sunday mass. He also belonged to 
the Penguin Club, the Theta Chi Fraternity and the Smoky Hollow Golden 
Eagle Club. Upon his retirement, Walter took great pride in maintaining 
the Smoky Hollow Memorial.
  Walter had many passions in his life. He enjoyed reading history 
books and tailgating prior to the YSU football games. He had a true 
passion for sporting events, especially for Ursuline High School and 
Youngstown State University. Walter was so proud of his family, 
especially his grandchildren, and always put them at the center of his 
life.
  Walter leaves behind his high school sweetheart and wife of over 57 
years, the former Dolores Lariccia, whom he married June 9, 1962; two 
children, Walter Michael (Tracy) Good of Boardman and Nannette (Terry) 
Jacobs of Youngstown; five grandchildren, whom he adored, Christine, 
Michael and Riley Good, and Caila and Alexis Jacobs; and a sister, Sr. 
Brigid (Jeraldine Good) of the Poor Clares Monastery, Rockford, 
Illinois. All of whom will continue Walter's legacy of kindness, 
generosity, and unconditional love.
  I am honored to be a long-time friend of Mr. Good's son, Walt, who 
undoubtably inherited his passion for our community from his father. 
Our Valley certainly owes both father and son a great debt for their 
service to the community. My condolences go out to anyone whose life 
was touched by Walter.
