  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lee Moss 
Kutner who passed away surrounded by family on December 18, 2020.
  Lee was born in Niagara Falls, New York in 1955. When he was nine, 
his family moved to Oak Park, Michigan. When in college, Lee's parents 
later moved to Denver, Colorado. Lee graduated from the University of 
Michigan in 1976 and then went on to graduate from the National Law 
Center of George Washington University in Washington, D.C. in 1980.
  Following his graduation, Lee moved to Denver and began as an 
associate in a law practice in 1981, in short time becoming a partner. 
He later became the primary shareholder in Kutner Brinen, PC where he 
enjoyed 37 years practicing corporate reorganization and bankruptcy law 
with his partner and friend, Jeff Brinen. Lee pushed the practice of 
bankruptcy law forward, setting precedent, speaking at conferences, and 
publishing chapters in respected legal texts.
  Lee was a beloved and devoted husband of 38 years and was a loving, 
father, and grandfather.

  He never missed a moment in the lives of his children and never 
missed a moment to celebrate his wife. He was brilliant, honest, and 
kind. He told his family he loved them every day, and it was the last 
thing he told them before he passed.
  Lee is survived by his wife, Cynthia, his children, Justin (Jennifer 
Sisk), Alyssa, Mia, and his grandson Charles Julian Kutner. He is also 
survived by his sister, Roslyn Zigmond, and many sisters and brothers-
in-law and nieces and nephews. I appreciate his lifetime service to our 
community.
