Dr. Alberto Marquez, longtime local physician
• The family practitioner for 34 years sometimes accepted payment in tamales or carne asada.
Alberto Marquez, a family practice doctor who cared largely for Tucson’s Hispanic community for more than 30 years – often free of charge – died Thursday night. He was 64.
Dr. Marquez died in the presence of many friends and family members from kidney failure, a complication resulting from a battle of several years with diabetes.
Susan Marquez said her father was a dedicated doctor who ”always treated people with such kindness.”
Dr. Marquez practiced 34 years in Tucson. His most recent office was on South Sixth Avenue.
”He had people that would wait outside because they were too prideful to come in without money. But he’d make sure to let them know they could come in and make themselves comfortable and he’d care for them,” Susan Marquez said.
She said her father was known to sometimes take payment in the form of tamales or carne asada so his patients would not have to feel as though they were taking handouts.
Dr. Marquez was born July 23, 1933, in Nogales, Son.
He graduated with honors from the University of Guadalajara in 1959, then moved to Tucson to take the Foreign Board Exam and begin his medical career in the United States.
He accepted a one-year internship at St. Mary’s Hospital, then completed a three-year surgical residency there.
It was there he met a pediatrics and emergency room nurse who would become his wife of 26 years, Maureen Marquez. The couple had five children.
Susan Marquez said her father was always inspired by childbirth, whether the birth of one of his own, or one of his patients’.
”No matter how long he worked or how tired he might be, he always thought the best thing was delivering a baby. He said the most beautiful and worthwhile thing was to see a child born,” she said.
Dr. Marquez also emphasized to his children the difference a good education makes in life, she said. All of his children with Maureen have graduated from college.
After a separation and divorce, he remarried and had a sixth child with Dolores Marquez.
Dr. Marquez is survived by his wife, Dolores; a son, John; five daughters, Teresa L. Limón and Susan, Patricia, Elizabeth and Betsy Monique Marquez; and three grandchildren.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. tomorrow at Abbey Funeral Chapel, 3435 N. First Ave.
Funeral Mass will be 9 a.m. Monday at Sacred Heart Church, 601 E. Fort Lowell Road, with burial at Holy Hope Cemetery, 3555 N. Oracle Road.

Dr. John P. Holbrook served his nation and his patients
When asked what his proudest achievement was, Dr. John P. Holbrook said without hesitation, ”Being a good doctor and always being loyal to my patients.”
When he died Thursday after a 5 1/2-year battle with cancer, Dr. Holbrook, 71, left behind a rich legacy as a Tucson healer.
”He began his practice when there was maybe one cardiologist in town. He was kind of an allaround doctor. He was used to taking care of his patients that way, before specialty medicine divided things so much,” said a friend and former associate, Dr. Larry Lincoln.
Dr. Holbrook was born in San Francisco July 12, 1926. His family moved to Tucson two years later and he spent most of his youth here, graduating from the University of Arizona in 1949 with a bachelor of arts degree.
After receiving a medical degree from Boston University in 1953, he joined the Air Force and served at bases in Wyoming, England and Washington.
While in England, he formed the Anglo-American Medical Society, for which he was awarded the Commendation Medal by the Air Force.
Dr. Holbrook returned to Tucson in 1965 after retiring from the Air Force and began his civilian career at the Holbrook-Hill Medical Group, which was co-founded by his father, Dr. William Paul Holbrook. He maintained a medical practice until 1992.
Dr. Holbrook is survived by his wife of 29 years, Jane W. Holbrook; his brother, Bruce Holbrook; his seven children, Margaret, Elizabeth, Paul, Bruce and Charity Holbrook, Catherine Boscacci and James Weed; seven grandchildren; and seven nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at St. Philip’s in the Hills church at a date and time to be determined.
The family requests memorial gifts be sent to the Tucson Medical Center foundation Cancer Fund for Patient Support Services or the Quick Rescue and Response in Bigfork, Mont.
