H.R. No. 142 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Dr. Larry Riedel celebrated his 92nd birthday on | ||
July 23, 2021, offering a welcome opportunity to pay tribute to this | ||
esteemed physician and his extraordinary 65-year career in | ||
medicine; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born and raised in Yorktown, Larry Riedel comes from | ||
a family of pharmacists, including his father and great-uncle; he | ||
initially set his sights on that field, earning a pharmacy degree | ||
from The University of Texas at Austin in 1952, but he felt that he | ||
was better suited to a career providing direct patient care; he went | ||
on to receive his medical degree from The University of Texas | ||
Medical Branch at Galveston in 1956, and he remained in Galveston | ||
while completing his internship and residency; during his | ||
residency, he served a three-year stint in the United States Army, | ||
where there was a demand for doctors; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dr. Riedel, a physician of internal medicine with | ||
the DeTar Medical Group, has been practicing in Victoria for nearly | ||
six decades, during which time he has earned the trust of patients | ||
and fellow doctors alike; over the course of his long career, he has | ||
witnessed and adapted to numerous advances in medical technology | ||
and treatment, and he has had the satisfaction of seeing his | ||
community become home to a large number of skilled medical | ||
specialists; he still works at his office five days each week, and | ||
he continues to make house calls, a practice that was much more | ||
common in the early days of his career; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Dr. Riedel enjoys the love and | ||
support of his wife, Janyth Riedel, and he takes great pride in his | ||
family of four children, two grandchildren, and two | ||
great-grandchildren; and | ||
WHEREAS, Larry Riedel has distinguished himself as a pillar | ||
of his community, a beloved friend and neighbor, and a true credit | ||
to his profession, and it is a pleasure to join his many admirers in | ||
recognizing him at this time; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Dr. Larry | ||
Riedel on his 92nd birthday and extend to him sincere best wishes | ||
for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Dr. Riedel as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
