 REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF STEPHEN MACKIN, SR. OF THORNBURG, PENNSYLVANIA

  (Mr. DELUZIO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DELUZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Stephen 
Mackin, Sr., of Thornburg, Pennsylvania.
  Steve was born on November 7, 1960, and was a lifelong Pittsburgher. 
He graduated from Bishop Canevin in 1979 where he made many lifelong 
friends.
  A hard worker always seeking perfection, for the past 42 years Steve 
worked at and co-owned Liberty Fuel & Supply in Carnegie, working 
alongside his father, brothers, sons, nephews, and many friends.
  He was a good man who knew how to have a good time when he could. He 
loved to get away to the beach to spend time with his family and 
cracking open an Iron City. He was a very proud grandfather, a loyal 
brother, and a devoted member of a big family.
  Steve was committed to supporting the kids in our western 
Pennsylvania community. He was my basketball coach at St. Philip's, and 
I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, Steve was tough, but he always brought out 
the best in us.
  Sadly, Steve passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack on March 6 
of this year. He was just 63.
  Steve will be missed by his loving family, including Ruth, his wife 
of 35 years, their three children, and his siblings, nieces, nephews, 
and grandchildren, all of whom wish they had more time together.
  To the Mackin family, whom I am proud to call my friends: Our whole 
community mourns Steve's passing.
