                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 15, 2017

  Mr. RENACCI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life of 
Charles Gilbert Slepian. A veteran of the United States Army, Charles 
dedicated his life to protecting and serving his country.
  Charles ``Chic'' Slepian was born and raised in the South Bronx in 
New York, New York. Charles was a loving husband to his wife Patricia 
Murray, dedicated father to his children Jon and Keri from his marriage 
with Nita Koval, and to Jenny and James from his marriage to Jeanette 
Slepian. He was a caring grandfather to his many grandchildren and 
proud uncle to Michael and Mark Slepian, and Lori Mulick.
  A graduate of the City College of New York and Fordham Law School, 
Charles had a rich career as an educator and attorney. He served as 
Deputy Commissioner to New York City Mayor John Lindsay. Additionally, 
he founded the Foreseeable Risk Analysis Center to consult on various 
security protocols. As a security consultant, Slepian was frequently 
called upon by national media outlets to offer his expert analysis on 
the improvement of security practices.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize a life so fully lived. 
Charles shared his energy with those whom he worked and instilled his 
values of sacrifice and service in his loved ones. His son, James 
Slepian, served not only as my chief of staff, but my confidant and 
friend. I am grateful for the Slepian family's service to our country 
and ask my colleagues in the House to join me in paying tribute to a 
valued soldier and citizen, Charles Gilbert Slepian.
