It was an absolute blessing to have had this wonderful man as my doctor for many years. His genuine kindness & concern for his patients & people in general, as well as his humor & compassion were true gifts. He was not only a credit to his profession, but one to humanity. I pray this wonderful man lives on in an eternity filled with love, light & laughter.

So sorry to hear of Doctor Aden's passing. He delivered two of my children. I have known him over forty years. He was the most caring and compassionate Doctor that I have ever known. I remember him sitting by my bedside in the labor room when I had my second child. He was always there for me and my health was always his main concern. I still kept in touch with him after I moved away just to see how he was doing. Memories are a wonderful blessing. Thankyou Doctor Aden, may you rest in peace now and forever.

Dr. Aden was my Doctor Forever. Funny I read a previous Story which described that Dr. Aden suggested you wait two years after getting married to have children. He told me that also and I waited two years to have my 1st child. We love you and will miss you.

Dr Aden was a wonderful man & terrific Dr. I've known him for 46 yrs.i am so sorry I cannot talk or see him anymore. He also told me you should be married at least 2 years before having children. Before he retired at the end of your visit, he would ask if there was "anything" you would like to ask him, such a sensitive & caring Dr. Once I needed a product when his office was moving, he drove me in his car to his old office to pick up the item. I will truly miss him,my sincere condolences to his son, Robert, daughter Nancy & 2 grandchildren.

So sorry to heard of the passing of Dr. Aden. He delivered my son almost 26 years ago. I will never forget the first time I met him during my pre-natal visits. He asked me how long I had been married. I told him just over two years. He thought that was good. He said there should be a law that you should not be allowed to have child until you had been married at least 2 years. That you need the time to get to know each other and have fun. Once you have children, your time is not your own anymore. I have never forgotten that and have told it to my own children many times. He was a wonderful old school doctor. He had such a dry sense of humor. My prayers are with his family and friends. I am sure there are many stories to tell.

Dr. Aden was a very special man, always there to give advice, and share the moment. In his office or on the street, he would stop and shmooze, he will be missed. May his memory be for a blessing.
