A very special thank-you to his care-givers: Katie Finley, Christina Brown, Michaelynn Brooks, LaKieshia Green, and Brittany Belton. He grew to love them very much and the family sincerely appreciates everything done for him and all the hard work, love and kindness they so unselfishly provided. Also a very special thanks to Hospice and their angels from Heaven. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be made to the Fisher House Foundation, ( the top rated Veterans charity), at fisherhouse.org., The Oaks of Shreveport or Willis Knighton Hospice Shreveport La. A very heart felt thank you to both of our parents for sacrificing to take us and our children on many vacations with learning and life changing experiences, and for teaching us all how to be the best we could possibly be. You're finally together now, and that brings us much peace.
You can to the family or in memory of Robert Riddell.
