In Memory:
WILLIAM H BARROWS, MD
February 3, 1954 - May 26, 2014
It's with extreme sadness that we report the passing of Dr. Bill Barrows. Bill, pediatrician and friend to many children and families, had battled for over 2-1/2 years with a brain tumor and finally came to rest on Memorial Day 2014.
Bill was born in St Paul, Minnesota. He attended Trinity College in Connecticut where he also met his future wife, Donna. He studied at The Chicago Medical School and trained in Pediatrics at The Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center. In the early 1980's, he joined Dr. Herbert Cibul and has been practicing pediatrics in the same area ever since, until his eventual forced medical retirement in 2012.
Bill was a tireless physician and caregiver who always made patients feel at ease and had a sense of humor that so many of his patients and parents enjoyed. He was a terrific role model that made a significant impact on so many of his patients, many of whom went into medicine.
Dr. Barrows was responsible for the training of many medical students and pediatric residents over the years. He also invited many pre-med students to the office, to shadow and get a "taste" of the practice of medicine. Bill spent many years volunteering at the St Basil Health Clinic on the south side of the city.
He loved to spend time with his family and children, and frequently spent "one-on-one" vacations with each of his sons individually. As many of you know from his photographs gracing the walls at our office, he was an avid photographer. He was very involved in many civic, religious, and volunteer activities.
He influenced so many. And we will miss him deeply.

SANDY ROCHFORD
9/10/1949 - 11/21/2019
It's with a very sad heart we announce that our dear Sandy Rochford passed away Thursday evening November 21 after a valiant fight with cancer. With her wonderful personality, she was loved by and touched so many lives at Streeterville Pediatrics.
Sandy first came to work at what is now known as Streeterville Pediatrics for Dr Bill Barrows and Dr Herbert Cibul in November 1983. There have been quite a few changes at Streeterville, but Sandy was always a constant and solid fixture at the office until she retired at the end of 2014. With a very solid training in pediatric lab procedures, Sandy was an integral part in developing the many strong services at our office. Her developing technological skills helped us transition into the computer age - first for patient tracking and eventually to full electronic medical record keeping.
Sandy was loved by so many of our patients. She possessed a competent professional demeanor, while at the same time making strong personal connections with so many. I fondly remember Sandy answering the phones, oftentimes warmly using the callers first name and inquiring about the other children. She would always try to "work someone in" even though the schedule would be pretty full. On Monday mornings she would frequently tell me who she ran into over the weekend at a volleyball game, at the store, or wherever.
Sandy officially retired from Streeterville Pediatrics on December 31, 2014, giving us 31 wonderful years of service, and touching thousands of families and children. A truly solid and dedicated person, Sandy often came back to the office to help us out even after her retirement.
The Streeterville Pediatrics family will miss Sandy, her wonderful smile, her support to our practice, and her devotion to the many families at Streeterville Pediatrics.

Melissa Rodriguez
November 14,1988 - April 25, 2021
It is with a very heavy heart to report that our lovely Melissa Rodriguez passed away suddenly from a non-COVID illness on April 25th at Loyola University Hospital. She had been battling with health issues for many years. Melissa was one of the toughest persons we’ve had the pleasure to work with. Despite her health issues, she never complained and never let how she was feeling interfere with her work at Streeterville. Melissa began working with us in the summer of 2012. She touched so many lives at Streeterville Pediatrics and will be sorely missed by all of us. She is survived by her partner Andreas Ruiz, and her three young children - Emily, Emilio, and Ella.
