My deepest condolences to the Redden Family. I pray that God's embrace gave him comfort and peace as he transitioned into heaven. Dr. Redden was a kind compassionate man who gave so much to the community. Though his voice is quiet his spirit will echo through each of you.
God Bless You

Dr. Redden was my doctor my whole childhood, as well as my parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents doctor. He was a very kind man and you could tell how genuine he was and how much he cared about all of his patients. You could tell how much he loved his job. He was the type of doctor I think all other doctors should aspire to be. RIP Dr. Redden. Sending prayers to the family and friends.

Dr Redden was my family Dr and that of our entire family. I never feared going to a Dr because of the way he treated me. When he retired I was devastated. I just sent him a Christmas card telling him how I still missed him as my Dr. My husband and I went to his retirement party and he hugged me like I was someone special. My thoughts and prayers go to his family. He was one of a kind.
