                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 8, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I wish to 
take this moment to recognize the remarkable life and significant 
achievements of one of Pueblo, Colorado's treasured pediatric 
physicians. Tragically, Dr. Theodore Miller died after a long battle 
with prostate cancer. While his family and friends remember the truly 
exceptional life of Dr. Theodore, I, too, would like to pay tribute to 
this remarkable man.
  As a pediatrician in Pueblo, Colorado, for forty years, Dr. Miller's 
bedside manner was the best around. According to former patients and 
colleagues, Dr. Miller was the kind of man who took time for the 
children to get them directly involved with their diagnosis and 
recovery. Dr. Miller's love for his work was evident through his 
dedication to his partner, and his patients.
  Dr. Theodore Miller served in the medical corps in World War II, and 
moved to Pueblo Colorado soon after. He graduated from Northwestern 
Medical School in 1945 and started his partnership in 1951. After forty 
years of serving the community of Pueblo, Dr. Miller retired in 1991. 
He was a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Colorado 
State Medical Society Dr. Miller also served on the American Board of 
Pediatrics, and was once president of the Pueblo County Medical 
Society.
  Although his professional accomplishments will long be remembered and 
admired, most who knew him well remember Dr. Miller, above all else, as 
a friend. it is clear that the multitude of those who have come to know 
him, mourn his absence. However, Mr. Speaker, I am confident that, in 
spite of this profound loss, the family and friends of Dr. Theodore 
Miller can take solace in the knowledge that each is a better person 
for having known him.
