Not sure what to say?

Ralph SLY Wiley's talent and humor will truly be missed. I'll never forget his commitment to succeed or his huge afro during my freshman year at Knoxville College. May God Bless & Comfort his family and love ones!

I am deeply saddened by "Sly's" passing, but his memory will live on in the passion, imagination, and wit that were always a part of his work. He really could "turn a phrase". Thanks for the memories!

Believe that he is not lost to you forever. May God bless you and keep you.

I have fond memories of "Sly" at KC when he and Fitzpatrick came up for summer football camp and Sly injured his leg. Man he hobbled around with those crutches and cast for months. We all had to prop him up or lie him down depending on the situation. We will miss him, he was truly one of a kind.

Love,

Your Melrose and KC Classmate..Willa

Please know that the Wiley family is in my thoughts and prayers.
