                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 16, 2001

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of 
William J. Girgash, a loving father and grandfather, who served his 
community in various ways throughout his lifetime. He was dearly loved, 
not only by his

family, but by countless members of the Cleveland Community.
  Mr. Girgash served as Board President of the Broadway School of Music 
and the Arts in 1996 and 1997 after many years as a board member. He 
also served as editor and chief writer for the school's ``Ensemble'' 
quarterly newsletter. Those who knew him could always find him 
attending one of the many music recitals of the students, whom he cared 
about most dearly.
  Mr. Girgash retired as Vice President of APCOA and served our country 
in the Navy during the Second World War. Friends, I'm sure that you 
will agree that there are few honors greater than service to our 
country and the education of children.
  My colleagues, please join me today in celebrating the life of this 
remarkable man. He was a gentleman of honorable intentions and 
thankless acts of service to the community.
