                  TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF BORIS WOLPER

                        Thursday, August 1, 2013

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Boris Wolper, a 
distinguished constituent who died on July 22, 2013, not long after 
celebrating his 89th birthday. He was born to Marian and Mordecai 
Wolper on April 8, 1924, in San Francisco, California.
   Boris Wolper was a man of many interests. He enjoyed a successful 
career as a commercial and industrial real estate broker, and served 
his community as a member of the Woodside Planning Commission. He loved 
to travel and was a supporter of many causes and institutions. He loved 
friends, food, wine, sports, and cultural events. He was a proud 
graduate of Sanford University and its Graduate School of Business, and 
attended every Big Game from 1942 until 2011. He was a skier and tennis 
player, and he loved to hike with his friends Howard Eisenberg, Bob 
Kohn, Dick Zukin, Paul Kaplan, Roy Goldberg and Joe Samson.
   Boris leaves his loving wife of sixty-four years, Marilyn; two 
daughters, Julie Brenner and Andrea Wolper; sons-in-law Ellis Brenner 
and Ken Filiano; and his grandchildren Sharon and Elliott Brenner. He 
is also survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Malkah and Don 
Carothers, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in expressing our 
condolences to Boris Wolper's family and pay tribute to his long and 
productive life. He will be missed by all who had the good fortune to 
know him, and those of us who called him friend will never forget him. 
Our community has lost a favorite son, and our country has lost a model 
citizen.
