Not sure what to say?

Sorry you left us. You were a fierce competitor either on golf course or on basketball court. We had great battles in Anderson vs North Greenville basketball games. It was great to go against your teams and tough to beat your teams. As Coach at North Greenville Competing against your teams made us a better team and me a better coach. Maybe we can coach against each other again. Hope to see you again......

What a GREAT Basketball Coach. We had some great battles in Anderson vs North Greenville games. Probably the best rivalry ever in South Carolina.
Your teams played smart and hard and tough to beat..My Dad was also an outstanding golfer as you were and he enjoyed playing with you. Don't know who won but know y'all had a great time...
Hope to run into you again sometime in the future..RIP

Mrs. Wiles and Jill, I offer my condolences and prayers in the loss of your husband and father. I'm just now finding out about Coach Wiles death and wish I had known in time to at least make the funeral. As you know, he made the difference in a lot of young men's lives including my own. I look forward to seeing him again in heaven. God bless you and keep you in the time of mourning.

Coach Wiles, I know someone waiting on the tee box for you. He is not very tall, but packs a punch. And he sure did enjoy playing with/and against you.
