Dr. McCadden was the best doctor ever. I once went to him on a sunday, he spent a half hour with me and he didn’t want to charge me an office visit. I stopped smoking after he hypnotized me. I remembered him many times over the years and often told people about him. I considered myself very fortunate to have known him. My deepest sympathies to his family members on their loss.

I worked at Scott Paper when Dr. McCadden was our physician. He was such a wonderful man--so caring and compassionate. I think I went to see him more than my own doctor while I worked there. I trusted him and respected him. I am so sorry for your loss and I will keep you all in my prayers.
