  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Steven 
Chotin of Denver, Colorado who passed away on May 15, 2021.
  Steven was born in St. Louis, Missouri to Miriam and Alfred Chotin. 
He was the only son and middle child of two sisters. He graduated from 
Ladue High School and attended the University of Oklahoma for a brief 
time. He moved to Denver, Colorado in 1973 to reorganize a company that 
was owned by a family friend. Shortly after he moved, he met his wife, 
Robin Cohen, and they were married at Beth Joseph Congregation in 1974. 
Prior to founding his own company, Steven worked for MDC Holdings where 
he played a primary role in developing their mortgage banking business.
  In 1984, Steven founded The Chotin Group Corporation. Since 
inception, the firm successfully invested in structured financial 
products and real estate opportunities where he was instrumental in 
creating mortgage-backed securities. Throughout his career, Steven was 
a strong supporter of social and political causes in the Denver Jewish 
community, throughout the country, and Israel and the diaspora.
  In addition to his family office, most recently, Steven and Robin 
established The Chotin Foundation which is dedicated to improving and 
enriching the lives of individuals, children, and families with 
particular interest in Jewish causes as well as secular charitable 
initiatives in the areas of arts and culture, education, and health and 
wellness. In addition, he had a genuine interest in local, state, and 
national politics.
  Steven was a devoted husband and loving father and grandfather. 
Steven and Robin raised five children and enjoyed time with their 
grandchildren--Jaxon, Caden, Coco, Harper, Crew, Cole and Parker. I am 
deeply grateful for his lifetime of service to our community.
