Anne and I knew Mr. Reotutar briefly through his son William Jr. and from assisted him in his travels to isolated hospitals in central Illinois. Mr. Reotutar was a very kind and giving person who's first concern was making sure others in rural areas in need of quality healthcare were taken care of. Mr. Reotutar was such a strong and dedicated man in both his personal and professional life. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Reotutar Family,



Only a man as extraordinary as Doc could have created such a wonderful family. To the man who by his overwhelming kindness, caring, generosity and work-ethic made the world a better place... Doc, you will not only be missed statewide, but nationwide and worldwide.

My heartfelt condolences. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there. My memories of "Mr. Reo" are all fond ones. He had a way of always making me feel welcome.



Sincerely and with love,
