May his kindness, loving heart, and warm ways Be with us all throughout our days! Feeling honored and privileged to be part of his journey!

I am so very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He truly was a very fun, funny guy and was always the life of the party. He, and my dear friend Nicki, were a perfect match. Nicki being more on the quite side, made more room for Mike to quote all of the things he learned/heard through out his life. I know your hearts are hurting, but you were so blessed to have him in your lives. Big Hugs.

Always loved when Spike would belt out New York New York ! I bet you are singing with Sanatra, Tup is dancing and Lila is cooking up a storm!

Mike was a very dear friend to me over the years. We stayed in contact through Messenger, and occasional visits for a drink or lunch. He was so kind and generous to all he knew. I tried to be encouraging and a support to him, but he was also that to me. I will miss him so much. My thoughts and prayers to Nicki, Sue, and the rest of his family and friends

Mike was so kind and had such a big heart. He is truly missed. Hugs and love!

When I met Mike Riley I had always thought his nickname was "Skip" and he never corrected me and it became a special bond for us. I will always remember his upbeat personality, love for life and devotion to many family and friends. Aloha and rest in peace

Mike was bigger than life. And always smiling and up beat. He sure will be missed around town. Always enjoyed time to chat. Hugs to all
