                         MOURNING DR. JIM CITTY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. FRENCH HILL

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 29, 2022

  Mr. HILL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to mourn the loss of Dr. Jim 
Citty, a longtime physician in Searcy.
  Dr. Citty first moved to Searcy in 1957 to play basketball and 
football for Harding University, where he would later serve as team 
physician for Bison Athletics.
  Upon graduating from herding, Jim attended medical school at the 
University of Tennessee and later enlisted in the United States Army 
during the Vietnam War.
  Dr. Citty returned to Searcy to settle down in 1975. Throughout his 
career, Dr. Citty delivered over 10,000 babies in the White County 
area.
  Known and loved by Searcy residents, many of whom he helped deliver, 
his loss is felt deeply. ``Doc's'' impact within the community will not 
be forgotten.
  My prayers go out to Dr. Citty's family, friends, and all who knew 
and loved him.
