Dear Nancy & Girls,

Just heard of your loss today, so sorry, would have been with you and Doc had I known.
Seems like yesterday Doc was doing all his good works for our animals, always with a big smile and a friendly joke.
Nancy, take good care of yourself, you are very important to your beautiful family.
My arms around you, Rosalie

Dear Nancy and Family:
Ann and I are greatly saddened by the passing of “Doc”. We too often neglect to visit old friends as time passes all too fast, perhaps we just think that our friend will always be there. I have many fond memories of hunting with “Doc” and have the pictures with which to reminisce. His distinct laugh and ability to evaluate and firmly assess any situation with a comical overture will always be remembered.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as we say goodby to “Doc”, a great friend and dedicated professional. He Will Be Missed!!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Nancy and all the Ricker "girls" . The Rowe's and Ricker's have so many fond memories. Bob and Dad are back together making sure all the angel's keep laughing. God knows Doc and Dad enjoyed the "lighter" side of life. We are so sorry for your loss!

Sorry for your loss, he was the best vet we ever had and was sad when he retired.
At least now I know that my pets and horses will have a good man looking after them in heaven. Missed you Doc.

Roberta and family..so very sorry for the loss of your dad, father in-law and grandfather. Dr. Riker was well known and respected in Delaware and left a smile on the faces of many who he met, where-ever he went.
The legacy of a man is the children and grandchildren who follow and he left fine ones in you, Bert, and in Sarah and Em..
That is the best that anyone could ask of a man !
With much love and sympathy,
Dave
