                REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF DANIEL F. SCIURY

                      Thursday, December 19, 2019

  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Daniel F. 
Sciury, 81, who passed away on Friday, December 13, 2019.
   Daniel was the face of the labor movement in Stark County, having 
been president of the Hall of Fame Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, 
since 1984.
   Mr. Sciury was born in 1938 to William and Stella Sciury. His 
father, William, arrived in the United States from Italy in 1910 as a 
teenager, and worked for 40 years as a roller grinder for Timken Roller 
Bearing Co. Daniel followed his father's legacy and held union 
leadership for more than 50 years.
   Daniel was elected president of United Steelworkers Local 5260, 
representing workers at the now-closed Weber Dental Mfg., in 1967. He 
was a member of the American Federation of Musicians Local 111 and the 
Communication Workers of America and helped the Canton Ex-Newsboys 
Association charity raise money to buy needy children winter coats and 
clothing. In addition to fighting for the rights of workers, he also 
bravely served his country in Korea.
   Mr. Sciury is survived by his children Daniel (Tracy) Sciury, 
Melissa (Scott) Baker, Krystina Sciury, four grandchildren; Frank and 
Vinny Sciury, Vivian and Margo Baker, sisters Isabel ``Jeanne'' 
Johnson, Rita (John) Prose, numerous nieces and nephews, and many 
friends.
   Daniel was a strong voice in advocating for the rights of working 
people and I was very proud to have stood by his side. Daniel's 
leadership was respected by both Republicans and Democrats and his 
reputation went well beyond Stark County. Daniel's voice will certainly 
be missed. My deepest condolences go out to all whose lives were 
touched by Daniel.
