             IN HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE OF SHERMAN HENDRICKS

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 13, 2004

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Sherman Hendricks, United States veteran, beloved family member, friend 
and mentor to many.
  Mr. Hendricks was committed to family, faith, community and country. 
He proudly and honorably served our country as a member of the United 
States Army, and was a veteran of the Korean War. Following his 
honorable discharge, Mr. Hendricks brought the integrity and strong 
work ethic that was reflected in his service to our country to his work 
and community service.
  Back in Cleveland, Mr. Hendricks worked diligently at Anchor 
Industries and RBW Company. He loved his work and developed long-
lasting friendships with colleagues. He was always known as a giving, 
caring person who would go the extra mile for anyone in need. His 
concern for others branched out into the community, where he was active 
in the Cuyahoga County Republican Party as a Precinct Committee Person, 
a position he held for nearly forty-two years. Additionally, Mr. 
Hendricks continually inspired others within his church community. He 
served as a Senior Trustee at the Antioch Chapel Baptist Church of 
Cleveland, and read Scripture every morning at 7:00 am without fail.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and remembrance 
of Sherman Hendricks, an outstanding American citizen whose integrity, 
warmth, and concern for others has left an indelible mark upon on our 
Cleveland community. I extend my deepest condolences to Mr. Hendricks' 
beloved sisters and brothers, Celestine Maudlin, Isabelle Hendricks, 
Napolean Hendricks, Spencer Hendricks and William Hendricks; to his 
many nieces and nephews and to his extended family members and many 
friends. Although he will be deeply missed, the wonderful life and 
legacy of Sherman Hendricks will be remembered always by all whom he 
loved and inspired--especially his family and closest friends--today, 
and for generations to come.
