                      Wednesday, September 8, 2004

  Mr. DAVIS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Stanley W. 
Rosenkranz, a remarkably accomplished and generous citizen whose 
dedication to his profession, faith and family earned him the respect 
of the Tampa Bay community.
  Stanley always strived for excellence. After becoming a CPA and 
serving in the Army, he went on to graduate Cum Laude from the 
University of Florida Law School and first in his class from the New 
York University's Masters in Law, LLM program. Stanley was extremely 
supportive of the University of Florida, and its football team, through 
all his years.
  Stanley practiced law in Tampa for over 40 years and earned the high 
respect of his colleagues in the Bar. He was Of Counsel with Akerman, 
Senterfitt and a partner at Shear, Newman, Hahn & Rosenkranz, PA for 15 
years, 10 of which he was president of the firm. Stanley was named to 
Best Lawyers in America for the 20 years of the publication's 
existence.
  Teaching and mentoring were two other areas in which Stanley 
excelled. He formerly taught in the graduate LLM Tax program at the 
University of Florida. Stanley was currently an adjunct professor in 
Tax at the Stetson College of Law and also had taught Business Law and 
accounting at the University of Tampa.
  However, Stanley always made time to serve others. Stanley was active 
in Tampa's Jewish community, serving as president of Congregation 
Schaarai Zedek, president of the Tampa Jewish Federation, president of 
the Southeast Region of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) and a member 
of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of URJ. He also 
served on the boards of Florida Blood Services and the Children's Home 
and contributed as a leader of many other civic and charitable causes.
  Stanley's family and friends will remember him for all of these 
things, his rare personal qualities and so much more. On behalf of the 
Tampa Bay community, I honor Stanley for his service and shining 
example to us all and send my deepest sympathies to his loved ones.
