  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, my good friend and an outstanding Central 
Florida businessman, Stephen Blair Sliger, passed away on October 4, 
2005.
  He is a native of Deland, Florida where was he born on November 21, 
1952. Steve Sliger was preceded in death by his brother, Gus A. Sliger. 
Gus, also a close friend, lost his life 10 years ago in a tragic 
motorcycle accident. Steve headed Sliger and Associates of Port Orange, 
FL. founded by his late brother.
  A wonderful father and husband, he was dedicated to his family, his 
community, and his business.
  To Steve's wife, Sonia, his sons Adam and Noah, his father Gus A. 
Sliger, II and all of his family, we extend our deepest sympathy. They 
have lost a loved one. I have lost a good friend and our community has 
lost a great American.
