I remember playing catch with Mr Kiley. Man he knew how to fire in a baseball. I didn't know, as a child, of his accomplishments as a boxer but how he carried himself, Mr Kiley commanded respect in the neighborhood. You will be missed.

Dear Kiley Family

It was with great sadness that I just learned of the passing of our wonderful Cottage Road neighbor, Gramps. His kindness to our mother, Helene, after the death of our Dad was so much appreciated. He was never shy to lend a helping hand or to offer a smile and a warm hello. On my last visit to Sydney this past summer, I drove by your home just across the driveway from ours and was flooded by the memories of you all, especially Gramps - he was a fine, hardworking and gentle man whose love for and devotion to his family was always clearly in view. My sincerest condolences at your loss.

To the Kiley Family, I send my deepest sympathy. Audrey, AnnMarie, Basil, and Gordie, your Dad was a great person who was very personable. While visiting either AnnMarie or Audrey at the house, your Dad always asked about my parents as they grew up together, in the Pier. According to my Mom, your Dad was always the first person to attend the wakes of our family members. He will be remembered fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Ann Marie
I smile when I remember you and Gramps dancing at Harbourstone! He was quite a man and I know you must be so proud of his life. Dad so treasured his friendship with Gramps. So sorry for your loss. Gary and I used to enjoy our visits with Mom and Gramps evening they did not always know each other. It is such a terrible disease.Blair MacKinnon

Dear Ann Marie & family: Thinking of you all as you cope with the loss of Gramps. He was a good man, and I know my Dad valued his friendship for many years. So many times I looked out our kitchen window on Columbia st. I would see the two of them on the back deck, deep in conversation about the union, or the plant, or trying to assemble a barbecue ( that was hilarious). Ann Marie, know he is now himself again, free of that horrible disease. Wishing you love & strength. Ursula MacKinnon & Bill Penney
