HONORING THE MEMORY OF DR. RONALD LUBRITZ
______
HON. STEVEN M. PALAZZO
of mississippi
in the house of representatives
Monday, April 19, 2021
Mr. PALAZZO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Ronald Lubritz who passed away on February 13, 2021 at the age of 87. I send my condolences and prayers to Ronald's wife, Carol, as well as his family and friends.
Born in New Orleans, he grew up in the Big Easy alongside his brothers and sisters. As a young boy during WWII, his father instilled in him a remarkable desire for hard work, integrity, and love for his nation.
Dr. Lubritz joined the National Guard and Reserve where he achieved the rank of Full Colonel and commanded a Medical Brigade. He graduated from LSU School of Medicine in 1959 and practiced medicine across South Mississippi for more than 62-years.
In honor of his lifelong service to the community of Hattiesburg, the University of Southern Mississippi Veteran Center established a memorial scholarship in his name. The scholarship is entitled ``Dr. Ronald Lubritz Excellence in Medical Care Memorial Scholarship.''
Although we are sad to hear of his passing, we take comfort in his example of a life well lived and the legacy he leaves behind. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Mississippi, we honor the memory of Dr. Ronald Lubritz, a loving husband, father, man of God, and dedicated civil servant.
