                       Tuesday, November 18, 2003

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the passing of a good 
friend and a pillar of the community in Southern Nevada, Charley 
Schneider. I had the privilege of working with Charley, and cannot do 
justice to what a great person and friend Charley was.
  Charley Schneider was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1938, but moved 
to Basic, Nevada, as Henderson was known at the time, in 1949. He was a 
graduate of Basic High School and worked at Farmers Insurance for 33 
years. Charley was a wonderful person to work with, always willing to 
lend a hand, listen when you needed to talk to someone, and helped 
customers above and beyond the requirements of his job. Charley retired 
from Farmers 3 years ago, and looked forward to being able to spend 
more time with his wife Maggie and daughter Stevie. Sadly, Charley 
passed away last weekend at the age of 65. I urge all members of this 
House to join me in mourning the passing of Charley Schneider and 
extending our condolences to the family and friends who greatly loved 
him.
