[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 153 (2007), Part 8] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 11128] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]A TRIBUTE TO STEVE DONAHUE ______ HON. JOE COURTNEY of connecticut in the house of representatives Tuesday, May 1, 2007 Mr. COURTNEY. Madam Speaker, last week Steve Donahue, a longtime community leader and friend from my district, passed away. I want to take this opportunity to honor his life, mourn his passing and pray for his wife and four children. Steve was beloved by his friends and neighbors. As the longtime Chief of the Pawcatuck Fire Department, he commanded an abounding level of respect among his colleagues and community, and touched the lives of hundreds. Steve was a young man of only 48 years. Although I wish that he had more time to spend with us, Steve certainly made the most out of what time he had. It is difficult to find someone in Pawcatuck who doesn't have anything but flattering things to say about Steve. Hundreds of people from the community came to pay their respects at Steve's funeral last Saturday. He was a man of great integrity who made friends everywhere he went. Today I join my colleagues in Congress to celebrate Steve's life and to pray for his wife Mary Lynne, and their four children. Steve, we will miss you. ____________________
