  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I submit the following.

       Youngstown--Calling hours for David John McKelvey, 58, will 
     be held at St. Edward Church (240 Tod Lane) from 2 to 4 p.m. 
     and 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 29, 2010.
       Funeral services will be held on Friday at St. Edward 
     Church at 11 a.m. Additional calling hours will be held from 
     9:45 to 10:45 a.m., prior to the service.
       David was born on March 23, 1952, in Youngstown, the son of 
     William B. McKelvey and Sallie Turner McKelvey. David was a 
     lifelong member of the community.
       David was a member of St. Edward Church and attended 
     Ursuline and The Rayen School. After graduation, David joined 
     the Peace Corps and later attended Youngstown State 
     University. He worked in real estate and business development 
     for the majority of his life.
       He was married in 1985 to Meg Mitchell of Youngstown.
       He is survived by his children, Jonathan (22), Catherine 
     (18), and Connor (11). David is also survived by his mother, 
     Sallie T. McKelvey; his siblings, Letitia McKelvey, Lucius 
     McKelvey (Terrie), Walter McKelvey (Carol), William McKelvey 
     (Sarah), former Mayor George McKelvey (Sherry), Sally 
     McKelvey Bulger (David) and Anne McKelvey; and many loving 
     nieces, nephews, and cousins.
       David was preceded in death by his father, William B. 
     McKelvey.
       David was passionate about his faith, family, friends, 
     fishing and traveling. David was an avid volunteer. His 
     favorite charitable cause was serving holiday meals at the 
     Rescue Mission. It gave him great joy to see his children 
     participate in this charitable work.
       David was held in high esteem by his many friends, earning 
     respect by his character strengths of integrity, reliability 
     and loyalty. David will be sadly missed and remembered fondly 
     in the hearts of the lives he touched.
       In lieu of flowers, the family asks that your generosity be 
     best expressed by a donation to the Gleaner's Food Bank, 94

     Funeral Home on Broadway Ave. in Youngstown.
