Do Rader was my doctor since my early twenties. A Great Doc, A Great Mentor, A Great Friend

Hard to think that this world is without Doc. He was my doctor and delivered me in Sepr. 1954. When he would give me an adjustment ... a joke meant one thing ... CRUNCH!! Would love to hear one of those jokes now.

I LOVED THIS MAN,HE WAS MY DOCTOR OVER 33 YEARS,ONE OF THE BEST JOKE TELLERS,EVERYTIME I WENT TO SEE AND NEW JOKE
AND I WAS GOING TO CALL HIM,YESTERDAY FOR HIS 98 BIRTHDAY
I LOVE YOU BUDDY,REST IN PEACE,YOU SURE DESERVE IT

YOUR OLD FRIEND          LARRY WILSON  DALLAS,TX

Doc brought me into this world in Sept 1954 and then he slapped me on the rear! He was my second father and taught me more than he will ever know. He put me back together more times than I can remember. I will miss his laugh that would make everyone smile. Love ya, Doc!

Doc was a very special person and friend who had a deep caring and love for his patients and friends. He was with me all the way in regards to my dad's decline into dementia offering support, comfort and knowledge.  I was honored to work for him one day a week for over 5 years. Doc served his community with grace, leadership and love. He will be greatly missed here on earth and I know he is now regaling heaven with his many stories and jokes in a healthy body with no restrictions. God has now freed him from the bonds of illness, and an aging body.  Doc is with the Lord whom he loved and  we are all better folks for being touched by his presence in our lives. I know he and my father are having the time of their lives together in heaven and I look forward to seeing Doc again some day.  God bless you, Doc.

Grandoc was my mentor and the reason I went to medical school.  I would not be the doctor I am without him.  He was the best mix of city doc knowledge and country doc personality.  They don't come any better.  I will miss him so much

I loved Doc. He was very sweet and had the most encouraging things to say to me. He will be greatly missed as a role model and friend.

Dr. Daniel L. Rader was an awesome person to know. I had the honor of knowing him for 27 years. He taught me alot about life and "how to deal with the curve balls that it throws at you." I will miss you deeply. I am sorry that we never got to have lunch as we talked about just weeks before you passed. I love you GranDoc...

Doc was one of the most loving caring person I've ever met.
he used to call me all the time and say 
'I miss you my brother, I pray for you all the time'
I was happy to have gone to see him the last day before he left to go to heaven.
Doc Rader I miss you 
I love you .
and thanks for all the wonderful years of friendship and love

your brother

Doc Rader was a pleasure to be around and I was glad to call him Brother for many years, both as a Masonic Brother in Pentagon Lodge No. 1080, AF&AM and as brother-in-arms as a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy (albeit separated in time by more than a couple of decades).  He treated many a member of Pentagon Lodge for various illnesses and his Rainbow Shots were legendary.  He is remembered often at Pentagon, where he was a Life Member, and he has truly been missed the past few years.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, my Brother; pass on into that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

It was a pleasure to have known Doc the past four or five years. He was as sharp as any young man and a true inspiration.
