  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the life of Dr. Paul 
Raymond Buitron, a pillar of our community, for his 49 years of 
dedicated service to patients in Laredo and South Texas. His 
contributions to our medical community saved his patients' lives and 
exemplified selfless care throughout South Texas.
  The highly personal nature of his care made Dr. Paul Raymond Buitron 
stand above the rest. Dr. Buitron compassionately tailored treatment 
plans for his patients, whom he knew well. His commitment to their 
well-being extended far beyond traditional medicine, he worked to 
foster open communication and build deep, trusting relationships with 
his patients. Buitron's treatment was the perfect example of what a 
doctor should provide theft community.
  Dr. Buitron was born and raised in Laredo, Texas. He received his 
undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University before moving south in 
1975 to earn his medical degree at the Universidad Autonoma De San Luis 
Potosi Facultad De Mediona in Mexico. After his journey through medical 
school, Dr. Buitron found his passion in otolaryngology, also known as 
ear, nose, and throat, at St. Joseph Hospital. He then completed his 
residency at the University of Louisville School of Medicine before 
returning to Laredo to secure his Texas State Medical license, where he 
served local patients ever since.
  Dr. Buitron may have passed away earlier this month, but his memory 
will continue to resonate in the hearts and minds of the South Texans 
who knew him. He leaves behind his son and two daughters, Paul Raymond 
Buitron, Ill, Delilah Buitron Arrebola, and Dubelza Buitron, as well as 
his grandchildren, Nara Buitron, Paul Raymond Buitron IV, Olivia 
Buitron, Lennon Wolfgang Gardener, and Ringo Sebastian Arrebola. Dr. 
Paul Raymond Buitron provided compassionate care and demonstrated 
unwavering dedication to his patients, leaving a lasting legacy in the 
Laredo community.
