AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE

The Family of Dillard D. Riddick would like to thank Elder A. Paul Paige, Officers and Members of

New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville) for their expressions of sympathy.

Thank you to Brother Robert L. Williams, Jr., Organist

Mrs. Karen Fisher Davis and Staff of Fisher Funeral Home

Our prayers go out to you and all others for peace and happiness and we solicit your

prayers for our family.

“The Broken Chain”

We little knew that day, God was going to call your name.

In life, we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Immediately following the interment, the family will return

to New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville) for repast and fellowship.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 . . . To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven.

A time to be born, and a time to die . . .

On Monday, March 6, 2017 at Loving Care Nursing Home, God sent His angels to touch our love one, Dillard D. Riddick, to beckon him home. Dillard was blessed to be 98 years of age and have now been afforded a home on high to be with his Heavenly Father.

Dillard was born on July 9, 1918 in Hertford County, North Carolina to Henry and Minerva Booth Riddick. Dillard was married to Rosa Lee Manley and the father of two daughters, Carol and Darlene.

After many years of service, he retired from the City of Portsmouth. Dillard was a faithful member of New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville) and attended services regularly until his illness.

Dillard was preceded in death by his wife, Rosa Lee Manley; his parents, Henry and Minerva Booth Riddick; and 14 siblings, Mamie Riddick Gaynor, Bessie Garrett, Sarah Parsons, Nevada Anderson, Glennie Dozier, Holbrook Riddick, Oliver Riddick, Bryant Riddick, Clarence Riddick, Johnny Riddick, Lloyd Riddick, Oscar Riddick, Viola Winborn and Rosa Downing.

Dillard is survived by his two daughters, Carol and Darlene and “Uncle Dillard” will truly be missed by a host of nieces and nephews and other relatives.

In Loving Memory of Dillard . . .

We cherish the special place in our hearts

that will always be reserved for Uncle Dillard.

The family would like to thank his nephew, Jesse Demps, for his compassionate care of Dillard during his illness.
