Not sure what to say?

Our deepest sympathies go out to the Spillmans and extended family. Blair was my godfather, having come into our extended family in the early 1950´s when he and my father Edmund Harrison Rucker met at UVA med school. Blair never failed to send us a Christmas card and we´ll treasure the last one he sent this past Christmas. What a great man.

Condolences to the family. Drs. Hall, Spillman, and Cook were the GREATEST PEDIATRICIANS IN RADFORD! Each one will hold a SPECIAL spot in my heart. My children Rozetta and Chad Reed loved all three of them from their childhood to their adulthood. Have pictures of Rozetta and Dr. Spillman at Wildwood Park during a Wildwood clean up day. I always enjoyed talking to Dr. Spillman when he and I were at the old Radford Hospital. A Great man. PRAY THAT YOU ALL BE SAFE AND BE BLESSED.

R.I.P.: God is receiving someone who loved his creation

Dr. Spillman save my oldest son's life. A wonderful doctor and great man.

My parents were friends with the Spillmans beginning in medical school. They remained friends and the Spillmans became godparents to one of my brothers. My parents always spoke so fondly of both of them. Having lived in the Montgomery County area since 1978, it's rare that I find someone who hasn't been touched (literally) by Dr. Spillman. May you rest in peace, Dr. Spillman.

Our thoughts and prayers on the passing of your Dad and Granddad. What a very special man to so many people and their children. He will be missed.

Dear Shirley (and Spillman Family), I was saddened this evening to read of Dr. Spillman's passing. Dr. Spillman was wise, wonderful, kind, generous, and FUN! I spent countless hours at the Spillman home on Cumberlea, where we made truly indelible memories. Dr. Spillman and his wife, Betty, always showed great interest in and support of their children, their children's friends, the Radford Bobcats, and the Radford community at large. Dr. and Mrs. Spillman were always fun-loving, involved...

Prayers and sympathies to all that knew and loved Dr Spillman. Both of my boys loved him ( they are now 36 and 37). He was an amazing doctor and Radford was so fortunate to have him to take care of our children.

Dr. Spillman was a wonderful, caring pediatrician to my three sons: Kevin (54), Brian (52, and Steve (50) Ford. He, along w/Dr. Hall and Dr. Cook were a part of so many children´s´ lives in Radford.
