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.
