                  PASSING OF DR. MICHAEL GARY EHRLICH

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES R. LANGEVIN

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 26, 2018

  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life and legacy of 
Dr. Michael Gary Ehrlich.
  An accomplished orthopedic surgeon, husband, father, and grandfather, 
Dr. Ehrlich will be sorely missed by his loved ones and the many 
patients whose lives were forever improved by his skilled practice of 
medicine.
  He paved the way to advances and innovation in skeletal health after 
graduating from Dartmouth College and Columbia University.
  And throughout a distinguished career at Massachusetts General 
Hospital, Brown University, and Rhode Island and Miriam Hospitals, Dr. 
Ehrlich demonstrated a genuine affinity for improving the human 
condition through his service as a practitioner.
  The people of Rhode Island have lost more than a surgeon--we have 
lost a friend. Yet, I know that his work ethic and positive 
contribution to the community will live on through the students he 
mentored, the research he poured countless hours into, and the 
thousands of patients he helped.
