                  MOURNING THE LOSS OF STEPHEN LEITER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETER T. KING

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 17, 2005

  Mr. KING of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mark the tragic 
and untimely passing of Stephen Leiter who was an outstanding attorney 
and business leader in the Long Island community. Most importantly, 
however, Steve Leiter was a close friend to me and countless other Long 
Island residents.
  I had the privilege of knowing Steve Leiter and his wife Glenda for 
more than thirty years. During that time I always marveled how Steve 
could be so active in so many businesses, community, political and 
sports endeavors, be a loving husband and father, and still have so 
much time for his friends.
  Steve Leiter was extraordinarily successful in his professional life, 
but even more so in his personal friendships. He was always there for 
those who needed him and he always had a ready smile and warm greeting 
for you.
  I express my sincere condolences to Steve's widow Glenda, his son 
David, who worked for me several years ago, and his daughter Lindsay. 
As tragic as Steve's passing is, I hope that Glenda, David and Lindsay 
will find consolation in the knowledge that Steve Leiter's memory will 
be cherished by so many. May he rest in peace.
