We had so many laughs in his office and giggles. It brings a smile to my face when I think of them. He will be truly missed.. ❤️ Cheryl”

Ed Gibbons wrote a sympathy message

“We’re deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Dr Chidester. While he has been my son’s doctor since 1995 and then when my wife and I moved to Florida in 2002, he became our Family doctor. As much as I respected and admired his medical knowledge and experience, what I loved the most was talking to him was like talking to wise, old friend that gave you comfort in what he was saying. We will miss him. R.I.P. my friend.”
