Not sure what to say?

He was my regular ENT as a kid. I may I had a lot of ear problems and I´m just now finding out he died. He was the kindest Dr I ever had. He gave me a flower in a vase with googley eyes on it after he did my first surgery (with him) I´m so sad now

I knew Frank well. He had a ready smile, a quick wit and was always kind and humble. The world benefitted from him being in it and misses his presence.

We still remember how Dr. Rizer helped our friend Rose through surgeries and collaborated so well with the anesthesiologists. Almost 20 years ago and not forgotten.

Have you ever walked along a path, and looked ahead of you, to where the road turns suddenly, and seems lost a while from view? Think of your Dear One living still, where the road goes on without end. It is only we who do not see the road beyond the bend.

The Cleveland West Chapter of Self Help for Hard of Hearing People (SHHH) wish to express condolences to the family of Dr. Rizer. He was one of our first speakers in the late 80's at the beginning of his career. We would like to also extend our sympathy to the entire devoted staff of the Lippy Group in Warren, Ohio. It was here that so many persons learned of his dedication. Those who knew him will always remember his compassion and love. May he rest in everlasing peace.

I am just 9-years old but the death of Doctor Rizer has made me very sad today. I couldn't stop crying so my mom is letting me write a note in the guest book. He was the best doctor in the world! He always had a nice smile and made me laugh.
I always remember his greeting....
Hi good looking!!!! He fixed my ear and it is perfect now!I will miss him so much!

My heart aches for Dr. Rizers family and close friends. He touched so many lives and will be deeply missed by so many people.
I will forever remember how comforting and assuring he was.
My little girl thought the world of him which was a calming fact when she needed a tympanoplasty. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May God bless you.

Dr Rizer was a caring individual and a consummate doctor. I was his patient for nearly 2 years, he will truly be missed. May his family find strength at this difficult time.

I was deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of Dr. Rizer's untimely death. My condolences to his personal family and to his professional family. He touched so many with his affable manner. He gave so much and had so much more to give, but we must find comfort in the fact that he is in a better place. Dr. Rizer implanted me in August, 2002. I will be forever grateful to him for convincing me to have the implant surgery. I had known him since 1985 and felt blessed. Shalom, dear Doctor.
