                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 10, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a solemn heart that I would like 
to pay tribute to the life of Steven Westhoff who has recently passed 
away. Mr. Westhoff was a valued member of the community in Glenwood 
Springs and those who knew Steven will surely miss him. I went to high 
school with Steve and considered it a privilege to be his friend.
  Steven Westhoff was born on June 5, 1954. He spent his childhood 
growing up in Boulder, Colorado and moved to Glenwood Springs in 1967. 
During his many years as a resident of Glenwood Springs, Steven took on 
many duties ranging from his most recent employment as a Project 
Manager for Schmueser Gordon Meyer Consulting Engineers and Surveyors 
to the head of the Ski Patrol at Ski Sunlight. Mr. Westhoff was also a 
valued member of the Garfield County Search and Rescue operation. 
Steven will be remembered as a hard worker, an avid outdoorsman, and a 
loving husband.
  Mr. Speaker, the loss of such an exceptional individual is never easy 
to accept. We will remember Steven through the memory and the 
experiences he shared with those to whom he was close. I would like to 
express my deepest condolences along with the sympathies of this body 
of Congress to his family and friends during these trying times.
