  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Mr. Stephen 
O'Connor Diemert, Jr.
  Born in 1932, Stephen was destined to serve his country and the 
Greater Cleveland community. He served as a private in the United 
States Army from July 1953 through March of 1955. After returning home, 
Mr. Diemert began his career as a firefighter in January of 1961. He 
served as a fireman for 24 years until January of 1985. Mr. Diemert was 
also a long-time member of the American Legion Firefighter Post 339 and 
served as the Director of Fire Affairs for Silver and Gold, a fraternal 
organization dedicated to ``supporting the Safety Forces of Northeast 
Ohio.''
  I offer my condolences to his wife, Carol; children, Stephen 
(deceased) and Cindy, Robert, Laura and Tony, Mary Lou and Mike and 
Matthew and Vicki; grandchildren, A.J., Sara, Stephanie, Hanna, Katie 
and Gary; great-grandchildren, Karen, Fallon and Brucey (deceased) and 
eight siblings.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring the memory of 
Mr. Stephen O'Connor Diemert, Jr.
