Dr. Riley will be deeply missed by my husband & myself! Our prayers are with his family! We will always be touched by the personal care he gave his patients. Never have we ever been greeted by the doctor each time we had an appt. Most Doctor's always have their nurses call us back but not Dr. Riley, He comes out greets us and shakes our hands. He made us feel so comfortable! He also sent us many letters to keep us inform of my husband's disease!! Dr. Riley you will be deeply missed!!

Dr. Riley was my husband's neurologist the past three yrs. We absolutely loved him. We only learned today, March 4th , of his passing and we're deeply saddened!
Mr. & Mrs. Bob James
