To the family of Mr. Riley:

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. My father (Sam Albanese) was also a resident of the Bedford VA and recently passed away. Know now that they are both in a better place looking down upon you each and every day.

So many fond memories of Eddie. He was a wonderful father, grandfather and surrogate dad. Always with a smile on, always ready to dance. Go in peace, kind and gentle man.
