Lawson The two daughters spoke, recalling times when their father returned from business trips and brought them fancy dresses, and the times he would rush home on Friday nights for festive family dinners. J' 7- sa looked toward the coffin.

"Daddy, you worked so hard, had so much hardship and never complained. The world knows you now as a hero, but you were always a hero to us," she as sobs resounded through the sanctuary. A family friend, Charlotte Spiegel also spoke. She remembered a "very good friend, a gentle man of humble origins," who battled back from two strokes and recently confided he hoped to muster the strength to walk llsa down the aisle at her upcoming wedding. Instead, he was "the victim of a mad and depraved bunch of criminals," said Mrs.

Spiegel, who also was a passenger on the Achille Lauro's cruise. Tattelbaum, who was Klinghoffer's rabbi for almost two decades, compared Klinghoffer's death to the biblical misfortunes of Jonah and Job. "Who are those who murdered Leon? They are simply murderers, liars and thugs," the rabbi said. "Their circle invites psychotics and There is no cause among them beyond their capacity for murder." He called upon people everywhere to contribute to a fund that has been set up in Klinghoffer's memory to bring terrorists to justice. In the end, he placed his hands on the coffin and said, "May the tight of eternity shine upon you and give you peace." NEW YORK (AP) Leon Klinghoffer's body, dumped in the sea during a terrorist hijacking, came to rest in the earth on Monday.

The death of this crippled man was "a holocaust of one," said his rabbi. "There was no justification for Leon's murder. I cannot conceive of his brutal slaying being God's Rabbi Harvey Tattelbaum said. "Many things are finite. But not human stupidity and human cruelty." More than 600 attended the funeral at Manhattan's Temple Shaaray Tefila, 'including Gov.

Mario Cuomo, Mayor Edward I. Koch, Sens. Daniel P. Moynihan and Alfonse D'Amato, and two representatives of the Israeli government. After the 50-minute service, the wooden casket was taken to Beth David Memorial Park in Kenilworth, N.J.

About 50 police officers were assigned to guard the family's privacy at the 10-acrejcemetery. Klinghoffer, wheelchair-bound because of two strokes, was aboard the Italian cruise liner Achille Lauro when it was hijacked on Oct. 7. Authorities say the terrorists shot him and then ordered crew members to throw Klinghoffer and his wheelchair into the Mediterranean. The tody washed onto the shore in Syria.

Four men have been charged by Italian prosecutors with the piracy and murder. wife, Marilyn dressed in black and wearing a mink stole and pearls, kissed her hand and touched it to the coffin as she entered the synagogue.
