I just found out today about Dr. Kidd's passing. I am both shocked & saddened. He has been our family orthodontist, putting braces on both of my sisters when they were teenagers. One is now in her late forties, the other in her early fifties. Dr. Kidd also gave my son & I beautiful smiles. He will be missed. He was a kind soul, always taking the time to speak even while he was working. I believe that he thoroughly enjoyed his orthodontist practice & he was reallly good at it. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I have known Bob since 1960 and he always had that same smile and very pleasant attitude. He will be missed but his son will carry on his loved personality.

We were so totally shocked when we heard that Dr. Kidd had passed away. My son is a current patient and my daughter was also his patient. He made both of my children's smiles beautiful!! We will miss his cheerful attitude after being a part of his practice for the past 15 years between both kids. My son says he will especially miss the great talks he and Dr. Kidd had about sports during his visits. He had grown quite fond of him.

We too are shocked to hear of Dr. Kidd's passing. My daughter is a current patient, and my other two children including myself benefited from his expertise in creating a "perfect smile". We always enjoyed his cheerful personality during our office visits. He will be greatly missed.

Dr. Kidd was an amazing orthodontist who not only straightened my teeth but my son's as well. He cared about every single patient that he had and would remember me even after all the years. My son had the awesome experience of shadowing Dr. Kidd a few years as part of his required service for his degree, and it was a great experience for him. My prayers and sympathy go out to his family and his staff. He will be greatly missed. God bless.

He was an amazing orthodontist. It took 5 years of braces and 3 years of retainers for me to have this gorgeous smile. My prayers and condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed by so many lives that he helped.

My condolences to your family! Dr. Kidd was an awesome orthodontist - he fixed my crazy teeth!! He always told me every time I went to his office that I was destined to be an orthodontist, that people would line up to have their teeth fixed by Dr. Brace. :) I actually just told my dentist that on Wednesday! Fond memories!

I was an adult patient and after 20 years, I was still a patient. I enjoyed every visit. He would be talking along and suddenly he would say "bite" and it always took me by surprise. He will be missed by his many patients. Thanks for my smile.
March 7, 2012
My smile wouldn't be the same without Dr. Kidd. Thank you for everything!

When I decided to undergo ortho as an adult, I came to Dr Kidd for a second opinion. I knew instantly that he would be my doctor. I loved his funny,unique personality. An appt with him was never boring. He would engage you in many diverse subjects, expertly adjusting your braces at the same time. He was a great doctor, and a friend.

I had the pleasure to know Dr. Kidd for over twenty years. My son was his patient, and then as an adult, I became his patient. Dr. Kidd was a brilliant man who found a "common ground" with each one of his patients regardless of their age. He surrounded himself with a wonderful staff. My deepest condolences to his family and staff. He will surely be missed by all.

I was introduced to Dr. Kidd in 1968 by the orthodontist that I was working for. Dr Kidd had worked in his practice before moving to Dover and starting his own practice. He was a very nice person and I am sorry to hear of his passing. My sincere symaphies to his family. May he RIP.

So sad to hear about Bob. I remember him as the big brother who laughed at and tolerated the goings on of his younger sister, Sandy and myself. He was so kind to me when I was a teenager. What a loss for the whole family.

Dr. Kidd was a great man, and great orthodontist. Everytime we saw him he always had the biggest smile. He was doing such a wonderful job making my daughters' smile beautiful.
My condolences go out to his family, friends, and staff. May God guide you and help ease your pain.

Deepest sympathies to Dr. Kidd's family and associates. He certainly did touch a lot of lives and I would venture to say that there is probably at least one person in each state that he has had as a patient at one time or another. He will be sorely missed.

You know he was a good man when I live 800 miles away and still hear of this. He was not only my orthodontist but my mothers too. He will be missed. My deepest sympathies for the family, friends, and lives he touched. Erli family Greenwood DE

Dear Janet, Bobby and family,
I am deeply saddened this week after hearing about the loss of Dr. Kidd. Dr. Kidd was one of the finest men that I have ever worked for, and I say this with utmost respect. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers along with my sincere sympathy. To this day, when I see a person smile with braces, I have fond memories of a person and a practice that I was proud to be a part of. RIP Dr. Kidd

Dr. Kidd will be missed by many including our family. We took our daughter to him after being told he was "the best" and he certainly did a great job on my daughter's teeth. She was about 8 yrs old, Dr Kidd was so funny and great with my child to make her comfortable until just a month ago when she last say him, she is 22 now. What a great man and great part of our community. Prayers out to his family and friends. Tina
