[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 13] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 18266] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]HONORING THE MEMORY OF JOSEPH J. MICARE ______ HON. JO BONNER of alabama in the house of representatives Tuesday, September 9, 2008 Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, the city of Mobile and the State of Alabama recently lost a dear friend, and I rise today to honor Judge Joseph J. Micare and pay tribute to his memory. A native of Albany, NY, Joseph Micare served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He graduated from Albany Law School and was past Venerable of the Albany Chapter of the Sons of Italy and a lifetime member of the Bucci McTeague Post. Judge Micare served for many years as the chief counsel for the New York Liquor Authority. He worked as an assistant attorney general for the State of New York before he was appointed administrative law judge with the Social Security Administration. Judge Micare and his family have proudly called southwest Alabama home for the past 25 years. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in remembering a dedicated community leader, a friend to many throughout Alabama, as well as a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Judge Joseph L. Micare will be dearly missed by his family--his wife of 35 years, Sharleen McClellan O'Hare Micare; his son, Pascal Micare; his daughters, Jan Micare and Gina Micare; his stepson, Shawn O'Hare; his stepdaughter, Meghan O'Hare; his 10 grandchildren, Deana Corrigan, Marc Micare, Jason Micare, Hanna Spongberg, Kate Spongberg, Brandon Grant, Justin Grant, Sam O'Hare, Jack O'Hare, and Dee Dee Micare; his six great-grandchildren; and his two sisters, Rose Delehanty and Angie Shiek--as well as the countless friends he leaves behind. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all during this difficult time. ____________________
