|
WHEREAS, A life made rich through meaningful service drew to |
|
|
a close with the passing of Dr. Jose Luis Aliseda of McAllen on |
|
|
September 2, 2020; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Jose Aliseda was born in Badajoz, Spain, in 1934; |
|
|
his father was a senator in the Republican government, and his |
|
|
family was forced to move at the height of the Spanish Civil War, |
|
|
first to France and then ultimately to Mexico City, which was |
|
|
welcoming war refugees; he went on to work at his father's pharmacy, |
|
|
and it was there that he met the love of his life, the former Laura |
|
|
Rios; they exchanged wedding vows on October 23, 1955, embarking on |
|
|
a journey together that would span nearly six and a half decades; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The couple subsequently settled in the Chicago area, |
|
|
where Dr. Aliseda completed his residency in anesthesiology and |
|
|
entered practice at Little Company of Mary and at Illinois Masonic |
|
|
Hospitals; drafted by the U.S. Army in 1968, he worked in mobile |
|
|
hospitals along the Vietnam border for several years and rose to the |
|
|
rank of lieutenant colonel; in 1973, Dr. Aliseda and his family |
|
|
relocated to McAllen, where his anesthesiology group provided |
|
|
services to hospitals across the Rio Grande Valley until his |
|
|
retirement; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Dr. Aliseda enjoyed the love |
|
|
and support of his wife, who preceded him in death on August 19, |
|
|
2020; he was the devoted father of three children, Jose, Tina, and |
|
|
Ernie, and he took great pride in his eight grandchildren, Ryan, |
|
|
Lynn Marie, Larry, Cristina, Nicolas, Allie, Sofia, and Natali; |
|
|
possessed of an insatiable curiosity, he delighted in traveling, |
|
|
reading, and studying history; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Jose Aliseda's death has brought great |
|
|
sorrow to those who loved him, his life was an inspiring example of |
|
|
the good that one person can accomplish; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Dr. Jose Luis |
|
|
Aliseda; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Dr. Jose |
|
|
Aliseda. |
