There are no words to adequately describe my appreciation & respect for Dr Riddick. In 1976, when my husband Ed, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he was 36 &. I was 31.

I was so saddened to hear of Dr. Riddick's passing. Dr. Riddick was my oncologist when it was found that I had breast cancer in 1998. Having lost my mother to the disease, it was a difficult diagnosis to receive. My surgeon Dr. Davis, recommended him as he too had been his patient.

For all family of Dr. Riddick. Please feel my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I was his patient in Richmond and Dr. Riddick saved my life in 1999 when he treated me for breast cancer. He was always so positive with me, and the only times I felt confident about my survival were after my visits with him. He "taught" me how to control the "cancer cloud". He was an amazing man. I know many will miss him. I send you prayers and love for your loss.
