I was very saddened learning that Riley has passed away. I thought he had 9 lives, and well maybe he did! We shared many good laughs over the years, and I have a couple photo's if anyone is interested. Sincerely: Daniel H. Benn

I was saddened to read of Riley's passing. I remember him for his tireless work at the Blenheim Arena. It was a sad day when he was no longer an employee at the facility. He had a character that was one of a kind. When I worked in Chatham a few years ago, I ran into on the streets and we had a drink in Tim Horton's together and shared past stories of the good years. My condolences to the Coll family.

I’m stuck for words. Riley and I go back so far to the arena days. Then to the Blenheim hotel days where I had to keep him in line. He always had to fight his demons. Looking at his obituary at the end it’s mentioned that they are finally put to rest. Yes Riley had his demons. But if you really took the time to get to know him you learned he was a great guy inside. I had a lot of good times late at night at the Blenheim arena. Later in the early 2000’s I would run into him in Chatham. He would have to lock down his bike and we would go for lunch at bobby D’s. Then we eventually lost touch. All said deep inside he was a good person. Riley RIP. Enjoy your life and stop fighting and learn to enjoy.

Patti and family, so sorry for your loss. I always respected Riley, he was always very nice to me. I gave Riley hundreds of rides over the years, and if he had a few pops in him he still treated me with respect . I took him snacks to the nursing home and he always had a smile He was a good hearted person.

Riley, the long blonde haired kid, who at 17 years of age, worked his way into a job with the Blenheim Parks and Arena. He was liked by all who met him and was an exceptionally hard worker. Everyone, it seemed in Blenheim, knew Riley. His life was not easy but it was still hard not to like him.
Riley, you had many challenges but now, you can have some peace. We will remember your kindness, your wit, your jokes, the sparkle in your eye and your infectious laugh. We will speak of you often and remember you always!

To Sandy, Rick, Raymond and Pattie: My condolences on the passing of Riley. When I was growing up, I didn’t know anyone who worked harder. It seemed he was at the rink 20 hours a day. Later in years, whenever I saw Riley he was always friendly, funny and happy to talk and catch up. May he Rest In Peace.
