1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of | ||||||
3 | Representatives wish to congratulate Dr. John Roth on the | ||||||
4 | occasion of his retirement and thank him for his countless | ||||||
5 | years of service to the Morris community; and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, Dr. Roth was born on June 23, 1940 in Morris; he | ||||||
7 | knew from the time he was a young boy that he would be a doctor, | ||||||
8 | just as his father was; and
| ||||||
9 | WHEREAS, At just 24 years old, Dr. Roth graduated from the | ||||||
10 | University of Illinois College of Medicine; he completed | ||||||
11 | medical school in just 3 years, rather than the typical 4 | ||||||
12 | years; and
| ||||||
13 | WHEREAS, Dr. Roth interned for a year at Denver General | ||||||
14 | Hospital and treated his patients like royalty; while at Denver | ||||||
15 | General Hospital, he met a young nurse named Judie, who later | ||||||
16 | became his wife; and
| ||||||
17 | WHEREAS, Dr. Roth was drafted to Vietnam after his intern | ||||||
18 | year; after serving, he returned to Denver to St. Joseph | ||||||
19 | Hospital for a 3-year residency; after finishing his residency, | ||||||
20 | he returned home to Morris to practice medicine; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, Dr. Roth always knew he was meant to be a doctor | ||||||
2 | but was unsure what kind he wanted to be; he thought after his | ||||||
3 | time in Vietnam that he would like to be a surgeon; however, | ||||||
4 | his father said that if there was a crisis, they would need an | ||||||
5 | obstetrician; the Morris community needed an obstetrician, so | ||||||
6 | that is what he chose to become; and
| ||||||
7 | WHEREAS, Obstetrics was a perfect fit for Dr. Roth because | ||||||
8 | it still allowed him to perform surgery; and
| ||||||
9 | WHEREAS, Dr. Roth was there for the Morris Hospital and | ||||||
10 | Healthcare Centers when an expectant mother was in crisis; and
| ||||||
11 | WHEREAS, Dr. Roth has delivered more than 8,000 babies in | ||||||
12 | 43 years and believes, at the age of 74, it is time for him to | ||||||
13 | retire; he has said he is leaving the field in good hands and | ||||||
14 | is thrilled to be doing so; and
| ||||||
15 | WHEREAS, When Dr. Roth returned to Morris, he was the first | ||||||
16 | and only doctor practicing obstetrics; he has paved the way for | ||||||
17 | many more doctors to practice in the Morris community; and
| ||||||
18 | WHEREAS, Dr. Roth has set high standards and is described | ||||||
19 | by all as both genuine and caring; he will be greatly missed by | ||||||
20 | all of the patients that have had the pleasure of his service; | ||||||
21 | and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, Dr. Roth serves as an example of a hardworking, | ||||||
2 | passionate, and dedicated member of the Morris community; his | ||||||
3 | work throughout his career has benefited many; therefore, be it
| ||||||
4 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
5 | NINETY-NINTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we | ||||||
6 | thank Dr. John Roth for his many years of service, congratulate | ||||||
7 | him on the occasion of his retirement, and wish him all the | ||||||
8 | best in his future endeavors; and be it further
| ||||||
9 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
10 | presented to Dr. Roth as an expression of our congratulations | ||||||
11 | and appreciation for a job well done.
