Richard A. Riddell

Dick is a special memory for me. He graciously guided my wife (retired Navy Captain) and me around the Navy base at Pearl Harbor when we visited. He was engaging as a person when we visited with him and Anne when he was in DC. Really there are no words to describe a man who will be greatly missed.

RIP, Skipper !!!

Often in the Navy you work for people you deeply respect. Dick Riddell was one of those officers. Dick was brilliant, capable, and very personable. He was a true friend. Fair winds Dick, you will be missed.

Anne & family, My sincere condolences to you and your family. I have known Dick throughout his entire career. We first met at USNA in 1958, he a new plebe and I, a second classman. I am so pleased to have served with him and been his friend. He was a superb submarine officer and who served his country with confidence and grace throughout the cold war.

He will truly be missed. I hope that the Family's wonderful memories of this wonderful man will provide the strength to endure these most...
